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.
