Joshua James Bernard

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.

It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.

But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

.

Remember me

.
Remember me when flowers bloom

early in the spring,

Remember me on sunny days

in the fun that summer brings.

.
Remember me in the fall

as you walk through the leaves of gold,

And in the winter - remember me

In the stories that are told.

.
But most of all remember

each day - right from the start,

I will be forever near

for I live within your heart.

The angel of April is the spirit of rebirth.

As the days grow longer and the sun begins to warm us, April is a time for new life and new beginnings.  April's angel spurs us to test ourselves in new directions and to make ourselves vulnerable in the face of unfamiliar people, situations and places.  Encouraged by the April angel, we search for new and novel endeavors that will enrich our lives and bring new meaning to our career or family roles.

The April angel teaches us to delight in each sign of awakening, in nature and within ourselves.
