Daffodil Jackson Poems

We know that you are here today,
Standing, arms entwined.
So in love and happy
Faces all unlined.
...

In a village in a valley
Is the place where I was born.
Dear old Polesworth near to Tamworth
Where I greeted my first dawn.
...

I had no way of knowing

That the winds of change were blowing
...

With a clip round the ear
And a caustic tongue,
Our Mam taught the difference
Between right and wrong.
...

Spring green
Young scene.
..
...

I cry when I think of the lost days,

Of things that were left unsaid.
...

Try, try and try again
That's how the saying goes.
And so I'll take it to my heart
And will away my woes.
...

It's a cold, damp February morning
In ancient Liskeard town.
And a mist clings to the old slate walls
Like a dull grey satin gown.
...

Dandelions and Daisies always make me smile,
Although I know that gardeners
View them as a trial.
...
...

Economic mayhem is what
The world is suffering now,
The currency confusion
Causes heads of state to bow.
...
