Snowdrops

In January you may see crops Of newly emerging white snowdrops These are delicate little flowers That may be battered by rain showers

But they serve as a bright ray of hope That helps you with winter still to cope Against the greyness they are pure white And into the darkness bring some light

They don’t for very many weeks last As soon they go over and are past For what those flowers seem to portray Is that the springtime is on its way
