Welcome, April

Happy, Happy April...

A complete darling of a poem...

 ...from this magazine

Welcome wind, with warmer whispers

Welcome world, more comely clad

Welcome work that turns to blisters

Welcome weather, April-glad

Welcome, sunshine between showers

Welcome, dapper daffodil

Making worthwhile all the hours

Leading to ‘welcome April’

Welcome brook-bedazzled cello

Serenading sky and sod

Welcome, purple-green-pink-yellow

Bursting from the hand of God

Welcome, welcome, winter-farewell

Welcome, wonderland of spring

Welcome, welcome sweet, sweet April

Primed with buds waiting to sing
