Daffodils

I turned my head, to follow the patch of bright yellow, as I passed the garden on the bus. Someone had filled their whole garden with daffodils. I imagined them buying hundreds of bulbs. I imagined them on hands and knees carefully planting each one a faint smile on their lips as they thought about the spring. I smiled.
On my way back I noticed the man with the hearing aid turn his head to watch the plants go by. I noticed him smile.
