I like the different months
How each one brings new experiences
And holds the birth of those
That mean the most to me
Like January
Bringing in a new year
And a fresh start
Just as my father taught me
Out with the old, in with the new
And February
How it reminds us of love
Filling our hearts with joy
Just as my best friend
Does for me daily
Along comes March
Oh, **** and brilliant March
The start of a new season
Just like she sparked something new
Inside of me
Followed by April
Bright and colorful April
Showers water the flowers
Just like my soul sister and I
Relish in fun times together
Next is May
Shiny and strong like the sun
Marks the beginning of summer
My brother and I kayak
And bond in the deep heat of Texas
After May is June
Marking the longest daylight hours
Of the whole year
My mother is a June baby
And she is my light in the dark, my pearl
Scorching July rolls through
Fast paced and chaotic
The peak of summer
I recall Camp Longhorn
And all the girls I got to enjoy it with
Autumn begins with bold August
School commences
New opportunities arise
Who better to experience them with
Than my favorite twins
September arrives
Wake me up when it ends
This month reminds me of how
I no longer have my best friend
Once always older than me
Now it is I who takes the lead
October brings orange and deep reds
Soothing hot tea and cuddles
Almost as soothing as both my grandparents
My true greatest examples
Of what it's like to be a warrior
Thankful for November
The time to reflect over the year
Thankful for being alive
Thankful for all who was ever born
And blessed my life
And last but not least
December
Oh what a weird time
Since the birthday celebrated this month
Is mine
Wanted to do something more creative than usual. Not sure how creative this was but the idea just came to me. Each month represents something and someone important to me. Hope you enjoyed it.
