“With the Strength of Snowdrops”
Snowdrops pierce through frozen ground
Amid fiery blasts and artillery rounds
Tiny flowers so brave and bright
Show strength in their tenacious fight
Eager blossoms unfurl with glee
Like a flag flying free
Beauty and promise spring after spring
Despite despair the season brings
While man may sow hate and strife
Nature blooms with hope and life ยง
~Alicia Woodward
“Snowdrops: Theirs is a fragile but hardy celebration …in the very teeth of winter.”
