Dad and Daffodils
Dad and Daffodils
The seasons come and the seasons go
From the summer’s heat to the winter’s snow
Over and over a constant rerun
On our little mud ball spinning ‘round the sun
only a few chances to get it right
Maybe 78 circles ‘round that big bight light
We take it for granted until it’s too late
When death seals for certain our destiny’s fate
Hopefully we leave a lasting trace
Of our time here on this earthly place
But for all of us that he left behind
Something recurs that will remind
Dabs of yellow on a green landscape
Blooming first because they just can’t wait
“It’s Springtime” sings the Whippoorwill
And We’ll remember Dad and Daffodils
