Raindrops and Sunshine

April Showers and Rainbows Across the Sky

Tiptoeing through the daisies

Splashing in the puddles

Clad in a bright coat and galoshes

Twirling a tricolored umbrella

Opened for protection

From the gentle falling rain

Like diamonds tossed in the sky

The sun shines in the drops

When the Dogwood starts to bloom

The bees buzz around

Sweet peas scent the air

With their heavenly aroma

With rainbows above

The clover blooms below

Kittens playing in Easter baskets

Pups chasing sticks

Rabbits hopping

Deer loping along

Birdsong brings joy

Raising hopes

With the lengthening of days

Sparking pleasure

With being outdoors

As temperatures rise

With the closing of winter

While the color bleeds

Into the spring landscape

New life all around

New beginnings everywhere

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
