Snowdrops in the Snow

Tiny shoots peeping through the snow
first signs of growth this year
crisp in the morning sunshine
wonderful to see them here

it feels like a new beginning
a fresh start towards the spring
nature waking up after winter
certainly makes my heart sing

little flashes a green and white
they raise their tiny heads each day
these flowers will be joined by others
as the snow slowly melts away

so when I see the first snowdrops
I know spring`s just round the corner
for winter will soon be behind us
as the year starts to get warmer


I have always felt that to see the first snowdrop of the year peeping through the snow
is something very special.
