April and June
When our children were young
And I went back to work,
They were watched by a sitter named June,
Who was part of our lives
For a number of years
And with her, to this day, we commune.
Now my son has employed
To help out with his kids
Someone wonderful, April by name.
Just a fluke that their mothers
Both named them for months,
But their birthdays are also the same!
Since today is the date
Of that special event,
I wish both of them such a nice day
Filled with wishes and hopes
That they all will come true
And for April and June, they just May!
