in the days of fearful Spring,
while praying for polio,
measles and pertussis to pass by,
the lovers awaiting their baby
blindsided by a sore throat
and hospitalization of father,
while mother labored unsuccessfully.
Finally birthing by surgery,
managing only to bring the daughter once
to father’s feverish bedside,
before convulsions and coma
and death by uremia
turned April love to May tragedy,
slipping right through her fingers.

April Love
as recorded by Pat Boone 1957
April love is for the very young
Every star's a wishing star that shines for you
April love is all the seven wonders
One little kiss can tell you this is true
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
Sometimes an April day will suddenly bring showers
Rain to grow the flowers for her first bouquet
But April love can slip right through your fingers
So if she's the one don't let her run away
