From April's published books
The Light Within
I don’t want to think right now
I just want to be like a tree
With my roots deep in the ground
My branches reaching toward the light
I want to feel the afternoon breeze
And a gentle spring rain on my fresh new leaves
I want the birds and bees to take advantage of me
Make their nests and hives securely within me
And when you’re tired, my friend, come sit in my shade
Rest your back against my strong trunk and feel my energy
