Pray Do Not Pick The Daffodils (Re-Submission) Poem by Valerie Dohren

Pray Do Not Pick The Daffodils (Re-Submission)

Rating: 5.0


Pray do not pick the daffodils
Their life has just begun,
Oh let them live as nature meant,
Stood dancing ‘neath the sun

Nor pluck the roses from their stems
For they will wilt and die
Oh leave them ling’ring in the earth
To grow wherein they lie

Each leaf, each bloom, each blade of grass
Belongs to mother earth
Pray do not take them from the soil
Do not destroy their birth

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is an old write which I submitted early last year. I am re-submitting due to it having disappeared from my list. I did receive comments at the time, so I don't know why it has disappeared, and PH say they have no record of it.

wat a noble thought.....unfortunately not all think this way and ultimately the beautiful flowers get plucked to be decorated on their own tables

A great poem, it reminds me of my grandma, she used to hate seeing cut flowers. She always said they should be left to grow.
