When April makes her entrence
From a winter of deadly grey
she is grounded in pastel colors
waving to all who look her way
The tulips on their willowy stems
Lilacs swaying in the breeze
Dogwoods blossoms of pink and white
And birds soaring high above the trees
The daffodils of lemon yellow
Hyacinths with itheir heavy scent
Let us be grateful to our Lord
For all the beauty he has sent
He has dressed the trees in emerald-green
To shade us through the day
Casting sun through leaves like diamonds
Brightening each step along our way
He has placed a carpet beneath our feet
making each burden lighter to bear
While high in the sky billowy clouds drift by
on a blue background beyond compare
