April's Lullaby

83 4 3
                                    

April sings a happy song,

Not a song of woe

She sings of better things to come

And sends showers for plants to grow

Like a tender hand,

She guides them into light

And they lift their small faces upward

Giving praises with delight

And when the sun has vanished

The night begins to dawn

April sings a lullaby

The sweetest ever known

It is a song of wind and rain,

Of dewdrops in the morning,

Of soft brown dirt, and daffodils,

And children's laughter soaring,

Of the greatest love that was ever shown,

Of promises not broken,

Of redemption, and the peace

That every heart is wanting.
