I turn away from my computer and see—-
Outside my window the snow drops are blooming

They do not know that my country is going to hell in a hand basket

They only know that the earth has warmed
That the days are growing longer
That it is time to emerge from the earth
And show their brief beauty

It is a kind of courage
I think 
To push out of darkness into light
