My Daffodil Darling…

My daffodil darling,

The angel in my garden,

Your voice whispered a story,

My daffodil darling,

Feathers maybe falling,

But you will find your glory.

I remember you laying there on the grass, like an angel and the scent of flower,

I came and laid next to you, your finger stroked my cheek, I'll never forget that power,

The power that a woman took my life, give me a feeling of love and trust,

Edinburgh zoo, a place I knew life had changed, a place when you were a must.

The kiss of the blinding sun, dry but succulent lips, my finger raised your chin, how sensory,

Together, a dream that we thought became reality, the smell of freshly cut grass, gave me a memory,

A memory instilling a forever, a feeling of love, that I'll always remember,

As we laid with the daffodils, blue skies gave the possibility that I had a passenger.

My daffodil darling,

The angel in my garden,

Your voice whispered a story,

My daffodil darling,

Feathers maybe falling,

But you will find your glory.

The empty roads we left behind, children in the back, driving through the countryside,

We laughed, we argued, I should've took that left or right, but we were reborn to a new life,

A life that carried smiles, even though sometimes tears, for happiness? we just had to look at our daughter's eyes,

Now, even though years have past, there still comes a time when it all comes rushing back, and like a silly old fool, I cry.

We had picnics in the park, fingers entwined as we talked, we even watched the sunset, laying a blanket on the beach,

As time goes by, the wind echoes your name as the leaves brush past, sadly my darling, those daffodils are out of reach...
