Walking by a meadow I see April in full bloom <br />Each blade of grass come back again from winter's frosty tomb <br />Each tree and shrub and hedge are wearing green to mark the time <br />Each vine is ready to repeat its daring upward climb <br />Even insects are abuzz with endless energy <br />As robins dressed in vests of red sing their soliloquies <br />Deer and rabbit, fox and fowl need not look far for food <br />As gentle rains and warming sun insure a tranquil mood <br />And as for me I too can feel my spirit rising high <br />As April's beauty warms the heart of every passer-by<br /><br />Richard Lackman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/april-65/
