I Wish I Were a Daffodil

Posted January 16th, 2008 by Donner

I wish I were a daffodil,
a lovely little bloom,
Then you would come and pick me
and place me in your room.
You then would soundly go to sleep
with me in my pot,
And, while you dreamt I was a flower,
you'd find out that I'm not.

My late husband used to recite a verse very similar to yours - I have been racking my brain (what there is of it) for years trying to remember it. thank you for jogging my memory.
