Gifts of Spring (Repost from March 3, 2004)
By Don

An old man approaches the park bench
--armed with a single daffodil.
The old woman blushes, and
pretends to look surprised.
Her radiant smile says volumes--
about the flower,
the man,
and springtime.
The two sit quietly together--
knowing, no matter how old they grow
--it will always be springtime, in their hearts.
