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.

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

Thank you very much, Daniel. We had snow Sunday and Monday with temps in the 20's after enjoying a very mild winter! The poor blooms have suffered! Sandra
