April in Spring

April is welcome of its fabled showers Baron trees are suddenly green.

Buds are bursting into flowers the season now is officially spring.

Nests are cradling speckled eggs some with nestlings learning to sing.

Others starting to beg for food that parents are sure to bring.

Babbling brooks are running full. All kinds of creatures are being born.

Mother nature is producing delicious fruit and tasty corn.

Breathless beauty, endless joy reminding us to take the time from busy lives to stop and share these lovely gifts so rich and fine.

—Phyllis Poper, Mutual 14
