Tenacity

     These flowers are dropping. Their beauty isn’t glorious. They are the drabbest looking daffodils I’ve ever seen near our driveway.
    But I’ve got a soft spot for them. They are survivors. Their sprouts broke through soil during a brutal stretch of late winter. To make matters worse, I shoveled piles of snow over the sprouts. It’s no wonder that most of the stems didn’t blossom.
    But three of them did. 
    Tenacity earns respect, even when it’s shown by inanimate objects.
