TF spotted that daffodil leaves had started to appear in the garden. He was so excited and made sure every member of the family saw them. It reminded me of a poem that I only half remembered, so I spent yesterday evening looking for it. Here it is:
Spike of Green
When I went out
The sun was hot
It shone upon
My flower pot
And there I saw
A spike of green
That no one else
Had ever seen!
On other days
The things I see
Are mostly old
Except for me.
But this green spike
So new and small
Had never yet
Been seen at all!
Barbara Baker
There should be a fairy or a flower child peeping round the side of the daffodil leaves.
