On a dull February morning
I see a little ray of light
In a sheltered spot of my garden 
they appear delicate and bright 

Like a group of people in a crowd  
collected they stand together 
Fragile, dainty white parasols 
braving the harsh winter weather 

I often imagine they grow here
to protect fairies from the rain 
An umbrella to shelter under 
until they can take flight again 

When they are not protecting fairies
they are a sign that spring is near
A symbol of hope and brighter days
bringing us all much needed cheer

Throughout these dull and dark winter days
like hardy snowdrops we should be
Standing together sturdy and strong
spreading hope and positivity
