A-pril Show-ers

by Alexander Pope — a poem card from Justes Mots

A didactic children's poem encouraging acceptance of spring showers as divine gifts that nourish growth and sustain all life. Pope emphasizes gratitude and trust in Providence's goodness. Ideal for greeting cards promoting optimism and for teaching appreciation of nature's necessity.

We must not grum-ble nor com-plain,

Nor i-dly say, we hate the rain.
