APRIL, MY DEAR SISTER
By J.J. Anne Marie Loeffler
April, my dear sister,
What joy you shall bring,
To make me an aunt
This year before spring.
April, my dear sister,
What love I shall give,
To this child of yours
For as long as I live.
April, my dear sister,
What a smile in my heart,
To give it such love
Though we're so far apart.
April, my dear sister,
What a soft gentle kiss,
I shall send it each time
That I think about this.
April, my dear sister,
How I do feel such love,
For my sister, my joy,
And my own flesh and blood.
