Erasing the chilly and frigid feel

from morning air

Embracing the warmer days

and bidding adieu to the trees standing bare;

Placing seeds in the warming soil,

Then covering them with care.

Thank God for April!

Did you savor the first bursts of color

from the blooming crocus

And share a dance with the daffodils

willing as ever in this season?

Lingering flavors and scents of Spring bringing

forth a looming focus

Of beauty and joy beyond the hills

Filling singing birds with more reason.

Facing lengthening days

dawning summer anew

Chasing frogs and critters

under the sky so blue;

Tracing outlines of clouds

with loving thoughts of you.

Thank God for April!
