May your April march on one step at a time
with flowers that bloom and poems that rhyme
The sun warms you more a bit more each day
that’s just how God planned it what more can I say
The trees that looked dead now bloom and turn green
their pollen comes forth and causes your sneeze
The mud your dear children wear home on their clothes
exactly how it got there nobody knows
The siren that blows with approaching dark clouds
is trying to save you not simply be loud
You can ignore it and continue to play
or seek proper shelter and ask folks to pray
When the wind stops you can see the aftermath
it is at that time you can pick up the trash
That’s just how life is, one moment it’s fine
then all is upset by a tempest in time
A loved one is ill, or worse yet they die
your job is dismissed all you can do is cry
These storms in your life that seem too hard to bear
will bring forth new growth with lessons to share
You will find someone who needs you to hear
the pain they hold close as they cry all those tears
Just be there and listen at first as they tell
of their hardships and trials you know too well
When they hear how you endured the same thing
your answers will hit home in God’s great timing
He comforted you with another lost soul
now He’s using you to help heal their woe
That’s how all things work together for good
we all help each other as God knew we would
To be like His Son is God’s ultimate goal
the best first step is to give Him your soul
He’ll shape you and mold you by giving a gift
only you can use to give others a lift
May your April march on one step at a time
with grace in each step to pass down the line.
