I saw spring with my heart today:
A small girl, skipping, came my way.
Her Daddy's smile was on her face,
Her petticoat dripped fresh-torn lace.
A bunch of yellow-gold I spied
Behind her back - Oh woe betide!
Fresh daffodils! "For you," she said.
Plucked from my neighbour's flowerbed.
This poem was written for me by my mother Marcelle Pollington, when I was a little girl in California. The picture is from several years ago - when I was looking at the daffodils at Canberra's Floriade festival.
This is my latest PhotoHunt entry.

I wish I had a poem from my mother. What a wonderful gift. Daffordils remind me of holding my grandfather's hand as we walked through his old fallen down homeplace and he would pick them for me.
Now you know how I love poetry and flowers and mothers, so this is absolutely divine, Leslie! How wonderful to have such a precious keepsake from your mother!
lovely composition and memory.
Hi Leslie, what a beautiful poem written by your mother. And I love your photo and design.
Great choice and take on this week's theme! Have a great day Leslie!

What a wonderful poem your mother wrote for you. I love the photograph of you with the daffodils. Great post!
That's a really nice poem from your mother! So precious!
Lovely poem in this sunny day..
What a wonderful poem. I love the photo and the design. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Autumn and cooler temperatures are coming your way.
Oh I do love your poem from your mom. Did you really pick them from the neighbors flower bed? I'm sure she didn't mind. No child can resist daffodils.
Lovely poem with a fitting pretty shot among the yellow flowers :)
That is such a delightful read. :)
it is a pleasure to read this poem
Very nice poem and photo. :)
That's a great poem. That's a heartwarming gift.
Love that poem. ;-) Sweet memories.
what a delightful poem and beautiful picture.
A delightful scene.
Such a gorgeous photo, and all the extra you've shared makes it a wonderful post.
Mine's posted...yellow flowers in our yard. Happy Hunting.
What a beautiful work of art, both the poem and your digiart! Beautiful and full of love!
It will be great discussing together. Have you thought of a time? Lunch on Tuesdays I have phone duty and then on Wednesdays I have K duty. Mr Mc and Ms D are pretty strict if someone takes over for someone else if the person is still there at school.
Do you have a list of styles of writing? I tried looking for a list on the net but couldn't find a thing. I want to prepare for the writing test since I want to get a better result than last year. Types could include dicussion, book report, argument, narrative and so on. The style of writing is kept secret until the test day.
Love coming here because of the continuous posts and scrap pics.
The poem is great. It goes smoothly together with the Daffodils
What a superb combination. Beautiful poem and beautiful photo
I really love this! :)
The great photo and the lovley poem from your mother!
Beautiful :)
Mine is up too!
Have a great weekend :)
Mellow yellow!
Beautiful job~ as always.
Despite having gone through so many entries for this week's photo hunt, with so many of them with flower themes, it's only seeing yours that I am reminded there is a photo of me as a toddler, almost lost in a meadow full of daffodils! So creative of your mother to have penned that poem of you, for you!
Oh, Leslie, I absolutely love this post and picture! It certainly brought a smile to my face! Hope you have a great weekend!
Oh this is one of my favorite of your projects-- lovely! I like it because it is sentimental and sweet.. romantic.
I did yellow today, too! I hope you can come visit.

Have a great weekend!
Daffodils are the best.
What a wonderful memory and poem and photo to go with. Great post for our yellow theme today. Yellow is just a color that brings a smile.
Lovely poem from your mother, and great shot for the theme to go with it.
Hi Ms S!
I love this poem! I did for homework last year and didn't realise it was simple English.
Do you think you can find some hard spelling words to do? The ones in class are a bit easy. I am trying to learn the year 9 words from you ICT program. They are more of a challenge.
Mr Mc has given me, only me, a 1500 word essay on a topic that I chose. I chose Albert Natmatjera and he approved. Do you think I could see you some time to discuss? Maybe not during class because it might look strange but it is still a possibility. Mr Mc is a good teacher. I have finished all the set work.
That's beautiful, the poem and the picture.

Beautiful. Best use of a daffodil picture yet!
Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful! I love the poem. What a treasure to have. Great job on the design. Perfect for the theme this week. By the way, I read on another blog that you are heading back to Italy! That is wonderful!! Looking forward to hearing more about it.
lovely poem. that is sweet of your mother!
Your mother's poem is such a precious gift! You looked so pretty among the flowers. :)
You know I love this one. I love it. I just love it. You know that, right? Just love it.
What a wonderful entry! You look like you are plunk in the midst of a fairy tale in the photo, happy and beautiful! And I love the poem from your mom :)
