Blue Skies of April

by Lucy M. Young

Blue skies of April
Loveliest of the year
Shining through my window
Drying up my tears.

Winter was so lonely -
Bleak and cold and drear,
Easily forgotten
Now that April's here.

New green leaves and swelling buds
Bring new hope and cheer;
Dandelions, fresh green grass
Remind us God is near.

Blue skies of April
Loveliest of the year
Bringing resurrection
And a bright new year.
