Daffodils

It would be easier
 to sleep
 blanket of snow
 tucked over your head
 dreaming of sunny 
 spring days
 
It is so difficult
 to bloom
 to turn your face up and 
 greet the new day
 when it is cold 
 and lonely
 
But you, brave daffodil
 brighten everyone’s winter
 days just by being
 and winter will not
 last forever
 
One day the sun 
 will kiss you
 awake
 and you will trumpet
 your joy to the world
