名人诗歌|April Showers

Life is a splendid thing， for sure

Or could be， quite a lot，

For being showered with loving friends

Is for sure， the nicest thing we've got.

God's been watering all our hearts

Of this we do not doubt，

For in planting only lovely things

We get the good things out.

If we've got some love to share

With a friend all tried and true，

We can sure feel sort of cozy¹

Tucked^{2 under God's heaven so blue.}

But sometimes these days it pours with rain

And we can hit some right raw mud，

But when we patch^{3 it up with loving}

We get to chuckle^{4 at the fun.}

Wasn't God so nice to make the cloudy skies

Come out with all the sunny hours

Then in rolling out the cutest kids

He planted all the flowers.

This place is not all bad yet

From all the praying on our knees，

Because then it has a kinder face

With all the nicest you and me's.

God gives us all a healthy bite to eat

And with more than enough to spend，

Is generous too， to share even

A little extra to lend.

These days we find there's way too much

Of shoving^{5 just to get，}

So we need to leave a lot more space

For loving others yet.

I do thank our caring Heavenly Father

Our brightest morning star，

That He is keeping watch so things

Will be so blessed， just as they are.

I want to send you lots of happy thoughts

And prayers for God to bless you every day，

With the softest of April showers

To bring you the loveliest flowers in May.
