April snow falls so gently
On our Madison Valley town.
Trees and bushes are covered
With God’s pure and flaky gown.
Pintail Ridge is quiet –
Even robins hunker in
Partly finished nests of
Grasses and twigs so thin.
The air is misty stillness;
No folks are out about.
Spring snow falls so softly
I want to go out and shout:
“COVID-19 LEAVE US!
We don’t need your deadly germ!”
The virus didn’t hear me…
But the robin caught a worm!
Our birds will not go hungry –
And neither, friends, will we.
As God is in His heavens,
He’s also here to comfort me.
He sends the gentle snowflakes
To spread quiet, lovely peace.
He sends birds to remind us –
Here come the Canadian geese!
Our feathered friends are signs
Real spring is on its way.
Soon we’ll see the flowers
With colors to brighten our day.
But for now, be still and listen.
God whispers through the flakes,
“The birds will not go hungry –
Trust, be calm; faith is what it takes.”
April snow falls so gently
On my neighborhood today.
But there will be a sunny morrow…
And we’ll all go out and play.
Children will be back in school.
Yay! We’ll all go out to play.
Fishermen fish, golfers golf, workers work –
We have faith – we’ll see that day!
Faith is what it takes.
Let’s remain positive together, okay?
God bless you!
Happy April 1st to you.
What’re you going to do to make today memorable?
I’ll see yo tomorrow.

Lovely poem, ma! I’m making chocolate chip cookies for Michel’s bday gift right now. I thoroughly cleaned both bathrooms this morning and have been doing laundry all day. André made another yummy lunch for us. We invited Agnès to join us. She was sooooo thrilled! Have a gorgeous week! I love you 😘❤️
Yay! Baking, cleaning, washing, sharing… sounds like a perfect way to spend your day. Hug Agnes for me, and wish Michel a Happy Birthday from 2Beeks 💕🥰
No hugs, ma! You know that! But I’ll certainly tell her you’re thinking about her. I’ll tell Michel! 😘
