April Showers (Poem)

Another April Shower

The pitter-patter on and off for days

Drags down my spirit

With its gray but life-giving ways

Even though the sun does hide

And I continue to drag my feet

There is one truth I know

That makes it so complete

If it was just sunshine

With no rain or snow

We would never be blessed

With the promise of a rainbow

For it takes both the rain

And a little bit of sun

To make a beautiful arc of color

When the two become one

So when the thunder rumbles

And darkens your life's smile

Into everyone's life, rain must fall

To shine forth a promise in a short while
