FLOWERS ON A SUNDAY:
(this happened when I lived in Ireland)
It was in the depth of winter,
Black ice on the ground.
I had to go to the shops,
Not a soul was around.
I pulled my scarf around my neck,
To keep the coldness out.
Gloves on my hands,
Golly, this is what winter is all about.
I gingerly walked down the lane,
A song going throuh my head.
It was a happy song,
One I'd been singing singing since getting out of bed.
It was then that I saw it,
I could hardly believe my eyes.
It brightened up a winter's day,
Oh! what a lovely surprise.
There in all it's beauty,
Was some golden daffodils,
Blooming in a window box,
On someone's window sill.
I stood there in the coldness,
I just wanted to stay.
I surveyed the miracle,
Those flowers on a Sunday.
