Sandra Haight Poet Lyric

April Showers

April showers… 
so welcomed
when our winter's 
gone and done.
Snow dissolved 
into the ground
to now await 
the springtime sun.
Trees lift up 
dry resting limbs,
wait for water 
to awake
their dormant 
curled up buds...
thirst-quenching 
gift they take.
April showers
bring new flowers
sustenance
to help them grow;
hydrated soil,
nutrients
seep into
their new life flow.
Before our eyes
 blooms unfold…
their lovely scene!
April showers
majestically
fulfill spring's dream.

Constance La France April 6, 2016 at 9:54 AM Sandra, so beautifully penned, you made me want spring to arrive here, huge snow storm to start about noon today in my part of Canada, 7 ~ Sandra Haight April 6, 2016 at 7:42 PM Thank you, BW, for the nice comment and 7. I appreciate it so much. Here is southern NY we had snow and freezing temps on Sunday and Monday, after having temps in the 70's the week before and no snow the entire winter. So many of the early blooms have been poorly affected. Thanks again, Sandra
