In 1557, a gentleman by the name of Thomas Tusser wrote:
Sweet April showers
Do spring May flowers
This short and sweet rhyme has a beautiful underlying message worth sharing. “April showers bring May flowers” is a reminder that even the most unpleasant of things, in this case the heavy rains of April, can bring about very enjoyable things indeed – in this case, an abundance of flowers in May. (Although, we actually love the rain!) “April showers bring May flowers” is a lesson in patience, and one that remains valid to this day.
