Crocus flowers daring tiny warriors br Fighting their way up through br The winter ice br Crocus darling early Spring harbingers br Promising days will soon br Be turning nice br br Tiny Crocus flowers grow in close groups br Strength in numbers seeking br Where winter snows still may lie br Encircled encampment of floral troupes br “We march onward to spring” br They raise this brave battle cry br br Bold strength contained in Crocus so small br Should winter challenge again br They simply refuse to die br Delicate blossoms possess such wherewithal br I cannot help but wonder then br Should not likewise you and I?br br Mary Havranbr br
