April Showers
Life is a splendid thing, for sure,
Or could be quite a lot.
For, being showered with loving friends
Is, for sure, the nicest thing we've got.

God's been watering all our hearts.
Of this, we do not doubt.
For, in planting only lovely things,
We get the good things out.

If we've got some love to share
With a friend, all tried and true,
We can sure feel sort of cosy;
Tucked under God's heaven, so blue.

But, sometimes, these days, it pours with rain
And we can hit some right raw mud.
But, when we patch it up with loving,
We get to chuckle at the fun.

Wasn't God so nice to make the cloudy skies
Come out with all the sunny hours?
Then, in rolling out the cutest kids,
He planted all the flowers.

This place is not all bad, yet,
From all the praying on our knees
Because, then, it has a kinder face;
With all the nicest you and me's.

God gives us all a healthy bite to eat
And, with more than enough to spend,
Is generous, too, to share even
A little extra to lend.

These days, we find there's way too much
Of shoving, just to get.
So, we need to leave a lot more space
For loving others, yet.

I do thank our caring Heavenly Father,
Our brightest morning star,
That He is keeping watch - so things
Will be so blessed, just as they are.

I want to send you lots of happy thoughts
And prayers for God to bless you, every day;
With the softest of April showers,
To bring you lovely flowers in May.
