Here’s my song for April, a meteorological rollercoaster ride in Minnesota.

Green returns tender and true
April dawns ancient and new
I remember how this goes, another spring unfolds

Shoots break through, blossoms open
Skin drinks in warmth of the sun
I remember how this goes, another spring unfolds

Nothing’s new under the sun
Still I thrill once again

Snow recedes, snow falls again
We hold on, we know we can
We remember how this goes, another spring unfolds

And the river will rise and the flood will wash us clean again
