SONG FOR AN OLD-FASHIONED APRIL  by © Judith Chiorazzi April, April, how do I know whether thou be friend or foe ? Give me sunlight, give me breath, Give me belief there is no death. How I wonder, my giver of the flower Whether I'll have staying power; To wage this battle through thick and thin To know my love will come back again... Tell me April, who is my love, The red robin or the cooing dove ? How can a messenger seem so still While streams overflow with winter's swill ? Give me love or give me power; I'll take some of both And contemplate the flower......
