Showers of Blessings

Showers of Blessing

April has arrived in all it glory,
inhale the sweet aroma of spring,
wafting from the Garden of Ridvan1,
where the nightingales of paradise sing.

Raise your voices in exaltation,
ignore the grey clouds that cover the skies
they will soon pour their gifts on the planet,
sharing with all a beautiful surprise.

Focus on the garden and not the clouds,
that will soon release their pleasant showers,
that will soon pour down rains of blessings,
that encourage the blossoming of the flowers.
