TO AN EARLY SNOWDROP
by Paul Holmes How amazing to see you Ahead of your hour Using your strength To reveal a small flower. Like a pure white pearl Amid emerald blades Your head peeps through Winter’s harsh shades. A courageous act Pushing through frozen earth To show me your beauty, To reveal your true worth. Stand tall and proud, Delight me with your charm; For the merest sight of you Makes my heart calm. |
