April Showers

1. When April showers bring May flowers

one bright sunny day,

the raindrops will have run their course,

as April turns to May.

Clouds will seem to dissipate

while SUNSHINE takes their place,

and leisure and relaxing times

will faster ones replace

2. FLOWERS that are flourishing

and brightening up each day,

will light up people’s faces

that you pass along your way.

Tiny chipmunks and the squirrels 

will scamper all around,

munching on their nuts and food

without making a sound.

3. As lovely colored SONGBIRDS sing

their cheerful melodies,

you might see them playing

happily up in the trees.

Others you will notice 

building nests quite busily,

then splashing later in a birdbath

playfully and free.

4. Take some time to quietly

sit on your porch and rest.

Make a conscious choice

that you will do a little less.

Practice saying no

to even friends and family,

so you will have more time to spend

RELAXING leisurely.

5. Every day spend time alone

in SOLITUDE outside.

Listen to the wisdom

nature’s presence will provide.

It faithfully speaks words of peace

and healing to your soul.

And there is nothing better on this earth

to help console!
