A bucolic scene of a maiden and a cow

On the side of the blue and white pitcher

That sat on the kitchen table

Holding grape hyacinth and daffodils

Cut from the front yard this morning

The opposite of Christmas

Morning when you wake the house

Anticipation, getting ready for school

Laying low, leaving enough extra time to change

In case there’s a new outfit (please be cute)

Walking downstairs and

Mom bursts into “Happy Birthday”

Your flowers are in their pitcher

Please let it always be just
