April gave us ambivalent weather
We expected warmer days together
The chilly weeks were unlike sweet April
Rain and sunshine vied for the weather cable
Yet flower beds rose up with rainbow streams
Deep in their roots the tulips began to beam
Tartan Week brought out high spirited Scots
And voom marching bands began to shout
Earth Day on April 22 gave cause to renew
Our respect for nature's bounty on review
Enthusiasts watched the Academy Awards
And National Poetry Month was not ignored
Shakespeare's birthday evoked fine sonnets
And the earth came forth with April bonnets
Flowers blossomed with rainbow charm
And people responded with gentle calm
Patient and hopeful for the renewal of Spring
We received our reward and the birds did sing
As the days renewed a brighter, lighter glow
May brings love to everyone, this we know.
