May flowers
In 1557 Thomas Tusser compiled a collection of writings he called A Hundred Good Points of Husbandry. In the April Husbandry section he wrote:
Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers
which became over time the phrase that most of us know as April showers, bring May flowers. The phrase may be invoked when we want to put a positive spin on a negative event in our life. So the poem or phrase can also mean something good may happen as a result of unpleasant events. Some selected April Showers Bring May Flowers Poems:
Sunny Side
Always look at the sunny side of life
the ups and the downs
the truth of a beginning
we need water to grow
we need seeds to sow
What we see today
is bringing us more
for tomorrow
even if we can’t tell
as they say
April showers bring may flowers.

Spring Garden
In the garden, the flowers are peaking
their green tips
edging up the dirt
raindrops are glistening
dropping from the petals to the leaves
the winter is gone
the spring is here
April’s shower brought a Mayflower.
---------------------------------------------------------
Trying to Grow
April Showers Bring May Flowers
the sun doesn’t shine
when you need to grow
It’s the mistakes and the misery
that make us beautiful in the end
