American poet, Ogden Nash, wrote a poem about April which is posted below the last photo. As an opening act to that poem, using acronymic form, this is what A.P.R.I.L. means to me. Nash's brilliant poem below speaks loudly of the L in my life.
A. AUGUSTA in APRIL. The annual rite of spring for all golf lovers.
P. PLAY BALL is the umpire's April siren song to starting the new baseball season.
R. RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ celebrated on Easter Sunday in April serves as the meaning of existence for all faithful Christians.
I. INCOME TAXES due in April just to keep the rest of April's joy real and meaningful.
L. "LUV" my name for my wife who celebrates her birthday in April.
Always Marry an April Girl by Ogden Nash
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true -
I love April, I love you.
Enjoy this fairest and finest of months.
