APRIL SHOWERS
By terratoonie

Inspired by the Al Jolson song …
…
Life is not a highway strewn with flowers …
Still it holds a goodly share of bliss …
When the sun gives way to April showers …
Here’s a thought that we should never miss …
Though April showers …
May come your way …
They bring the flowers …
That bloom in May …
So if it’s raining …
Have no regrets …
Because it isn’t raining rain, you know …
It’s raining violets …
And when you see clouds …
Upon the hills …
You soon will see crowds …
of daffodils …
So keep on looking for the bluebird …
And listening for his song …
Whenever April showers come along …
