Snowdrop

S   uch dainty little bowing heads
N   ow dare to open up and blossom.
O   ver now is winters hold
W  hite flowers dance for joy.
D   ear little flower so brave and daring,
R   ising early in the year
O  bedient you are to natures call,
P   rompting thoughts of spring.

The tiny snowdrop seldom rates notice unless she comes in large amounts. She is the first of spring's advancing army of blooms and it is right she be recognized. Great work. Love, Joyce
