April Love

April Love,
April Love,
so your name tag read today.
I saw you in the drugstore drive-thru.
I was that guy with the shiny red car,
sunglasses,
and my grandmother,
patiently waiting for her medication next to me.

April Love,
April Love,
You make me think of
Mars in May,
June in July,
and kisses in August.

April Love,
April Love,
you'll never taste the icing of this cake,
never know that someone out there
was so smitten with your name
that he wrote a poem for you today.

April Love,
April Love,
I hope you name your daughter Hope,
'cause maybe the world will be a better place.
