It's Almost April Again

By: Rebecca Martinez Ybarra

It's almost April again
and once more I shed tears for the baby
I have lost but still remember.

Even after four long years
the months have passed without you
and time has brought little healing.

So much pain and anger built up inside
with all the guilt I am still feeling.

Please forgive me, baby April,
for I did love you with all by heart,
because I knew what I'd created meant a new start.

But it wasn't meant to be, you weren't truly mine;
I lost the precious gift I didn't expect to find.

Please remember this, dear April,
you are always in my prayers
and this is what I say:

"Bless my every April,
let them pass with joy and love,
and new beginnigns that come from up above."
