A frost had already settled late that night Into the tenth hour, when most would be sleeping All was quiet and cold on the front When the stars presented themselves, you presented yourself to the sky I imagine as gracefully as sunrise Quiet and unsuspecting, it sprang on us like an early spring
When winter turns to spring and daisies push their way through the dirt when the transition is done I'll think of your fight to push through life, yet open yourself up just as flower petals open to this world Even though you passed in winter, spring will remind us of you After a harsh winter, spring will be there to guide us, whether we've made peace with the season, whether we're ready and however early We'll pick daisies to take you with us on this spring's journey

For my dear Aunt, who passed away earlier this month. She was 39, but had a long fight with Cystic Fibrosis. Her favorite flowers were daisies :)
