    Daffodils and Memories

    By Ali Van Zee

    You came across my mind today

    As you do in every way.

    And every moment,

    Awake or sleeping

    Is filled with memories of you

    I’m keeping.

    Your life cut short by another’s shame,

    They refuse to share the blame.

    My anger rising,

    I weep, I mourn

    And rail against

    All those I scorn!


    But that’s not what you want for me,

    Hardening my heart this easily.

    So to warm my soul

    Against these dreadful chills,

    Today I bought

    Some daffodils.

    They’re on the table by the bed;

    To see them I just turn my head.

    So bright and happy,

    They’re in the perfect place.

    For in every petal

    I see your face!
