April Fool

April Fool The rains came but the pain didn't wash away Springtime's hope is just another joke Drenched and dripping awaiting a flower to appear Lost, alone with the showers the fool, put out on display is here

A time of great change, further steps through the great mysteries of life. There is resistance to pain, yet also saturation with it; it is distracting. You are a good and special man. Always remember. My wife and I were married on April 1st; at the reception we had jester's hats for everybody, and to their great credit even the usually most-stern and august grand dames and titled gentlemen put them on.

I can relate to this one! and we just got more snow last night! As for the pain you know I and the Captain have a cure for that!! This was a very well written poem by the way.

That's just not right, snow in April. You can come visit our warmth in the Stanley Cup Finals.

The pain is a pain that has sometimes but an aim, to maim the heart. I hope you won't let it take hold and the May showers will wash away its sting. By the way, Tim, it was a brief but very powerful and moving poem. Amitiés

Good Morning Tim. When there is pain of any kind that is no joke but we readers see the correlation especially on this particular day. May the sun appear. Well expressed even in brevity.

Thanks Lisa...glad you got the correlation with the day. I blame Jan and her joke for the inspiration.
