the last day of april

say goodbye to april,
no more showers of new spring.
tormorrow will be a new day,
may and summery june are on their way.

say goodbye to april,
the flowers have all begun to bloom.
the cherry blossoms have faded to leaves,
and they begin to look un-new as their deep red grieves.

so say goodbye to april,
soon say goodbye to spring.
no more little girl in a flower crown,
the time is now to lay the forget me nots down.

say goodby to april,
for it is followed by summer than winter will fall.
the trees grow and change with the season and swallow,
and i the little girl with her forget me nots must follow.
