I like that March is a month of transition and change…winter easing into spring. It definitely brings renewal and hope.
A great look at the month and its meanings, Karen. I loved your poem, too.
As for daffodils, it always amazes me that something so pretty and fragile looking can stand up to such unpredictable weather. I guess that is a lesson in itself!
