00:00:02.189 --> 00:00:07.830
April. He was nowhere to be found. It was months
00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:12.580
since he'd left town. He was long gone. She was
00:00:12.580 --> 00:00:16.140
all alone. The choice was not an easy one, but
00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:20.519
now the deed had been done. That was 13 years
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:24.660
ago, and still today she can't let go of the
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:28.140
bitter memory it will always follow her. She
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.780
will carry to eternity a secret she will never
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:35.460
share. April reminds her each time it rolls around.
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:40.439
Even the springtime of life can be unkind. And
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.079
though it's behind her, it always can be found.
00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:47.420
Growing wild in her mind, yes, April still grows
00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:51.640
wild in her mind. Now she's married and with
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:56.049
child. Will he have his father's smile? Will
00:00:56.049 --> 00:01:00.649
she look like her? Will he walk like him? What
00:01:00.649 --> 00:01:04.170
should be her name? April comes to mind again.
00:01:05.870 --> 00:01:08.849
April reminds her each time it rolls around.
00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:13.390
Even the springtime of life can be unkind. And
00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:15.750
though it's behind her, it always can be found.
00:01:16.390 --> 00:01:20.390
Growing wild in her mind, yes, April still grows
00:01:20.390 --> 00:01:24.239
wild in her mind. April comes but once a year,
00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:27.739
but the memory is clear, for the pain still lingers
00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:31.730
near. April reminds her each time it rolls around.
00:01:32.329 --> 00:01:36.170
Even the springtime of life can be unkind. And
00:01:36.170 --> 00:01:38.370
though it's behind her, it always can be found,
00:01:38.530 --> 00:01:42.359
growing wild in her mind. Yes, April still grows
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.019
wild in her mind. David Mays, March 29, 1993.
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:59.700
This poem and song, I believe, is probably best
00:02:00.500 --> 00:02:05.950
left to the reader and the listener. Life is
00:02:05.950 --> 00:02:24.949
full of situations, chances, happy, sad. Things
00:02:24.949 --> 00:02:29.289
happen in life that you can't control. You have
00:02:29.289 --> 00:02:35.979
to have a faith in someone or something or God.
00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:39.569
Sometimes you're alone. Sometimes you're together.
00:02:39.729 --> 00:02:41.789
Sometimes you have help. Sometimes you don't.
00:02:42.129 --> 00:02:46.750
Everybody has to deal with life in their own
00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:52.389
way. I'm such a different person now than I was
00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:59.210
in 1993. Much different than I was in 1963. I
00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:06.300
have an imagination, just like everyone, of,
00:03:06.340 --> 00:03:13.030
wow, what happens to that person? Or why don't
00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:17.330
they have help like I did? Or how come some people
00:03:17.330 --> 00:03:21.129
make life more difficult? As we grow and our
00:03:21.129 --> 00:03:24.289
children, grandchildren, have situations come
00:03:24.289 --> 00:03:29.960
up in their lifetime, you just pray for them
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:35.219
and hope for the best. You see people a lot of
00:03:35.219 --> 00:03:39.099
times who you just don't understand. Why them?
00:03:40.409 --> 00:03:43.990
Or why not me? Or sometimes it's why me and why
00:03:43.990 --> 00:03:51.069
not them? But anyway, I think this song is a
00:03:51.069 --> 00:03:59.250
possible situation. Maybe someone you know, somebody
00:03:59.250 --> 00:04:03.639
I know, was in a situation like this young lady.
00:04:06.729 --> 00:04:08.909
How do they make their decisions? Who helps them?
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:17.550
Who's hindering them? We have a special place
00:04:17.550 --> 00:04:19.550
in our hearts, obviously, for our birth mothers.
00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:26.230
And there are some poems and songs that I've
00:04:26.230 --> 00:04:29.639
got more pointed than that. But this one, I don't
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:35.430
know. I don't know April. I don't know who this
00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:41.800
person is. I can use my imagination, and I guess
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.560
you can too, but we are very thankful for our
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:53.879
family and friends, and we're thankful for our
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.939
mothers and our birth mothers and our grandmothers
00:04:56.939 --> 00:04:59.819
and our children and our grandchildren. We're
00:04:59.819 --> 00:05:02.699
thankful for God, and that's all we can do is
00:05:02.699 --> 00:05:03.660
trust in Him.
