For the Love of April

oh, Spring glad you are here... I have been waiting all Winter for you glorious will be this month of awakening ... April showers will bring me flowers some soft and delightful like cherry blossoms ... ~ and sweet pansies in every single bright hue and daffodils and tulips and lilies and snowdrops with petals that hang like charms ~ will wear dreamy delightful sundresses and sandals on my feet to go walking ... oh, yes, I will go for strolls to roadside farmer's markets or a garden nursery with a "spring" in my step ... ~ in the forest wildflowers are blooming everywhere buttercups, daisies, lupine and meadow rue and soon, wild strawberries and raspberries ~ oh yes, Spring is the month of blossoming when the Lord paints our world bright with love with new beginnings and hope for the world Spring is a month to be thankful ... even if you feel despair ... give it to the Lord let him carry the load for you start your attitude right now to "new" ... ~ but I have jobs to do in my own garden ... seeds to plant and ideas to grow window boxes and flower pots to fill ~ ... so, Spring blessings to all ! ____________________________ April 12, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/For the Love of Poetry Copyright Protected, 02-134-604-12 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, April Poetry Sponsor, Regina McIntosh, Judged 04/17/2021 Second Place
