The Snowdrop is a flower we all hold so dear
It reminds us of loved ones who are no longer here
Snowdrops flourish and grow to give us hope
Showing us there is a way to cope.
They push and push through frozen ground
Showing us that together a friendship we’ve found
To be able to go forward and help one another
Is something we strive for to make us be stronger.
Sweet snowdrops keep blooming year after year
To show us our loved ones will always be near.

“Them”
We planted our snowdrops to remind us of them
Then our snowdrops bloomed and we thought of them
So strong and steadfast just like them
They flowered and died just like them
But our snowdrops will bloom year after year
To remind us our loved ones will always be near
To try and help us be strong and true
To be near us and guide us in all that we do
Our hearts were broken when they were called away
All we wanted was for them to stay
But we know that one day we will be together
And that our love for them will go on for ever
