Twelve Months of Blessings

January brings the snow that falls from the sky
A beautiful spectacle that makes our hearts sigh
February brings the cold that freezes our lakes
A shivering phenomenon that Mother Nature takes
March brings the winds as fierce as a lion
Like a tornado can reach the mountains of Zion
April brings the showers of primrose so sweet
Scattering petals of fragrant flowers at our feet
May brings flocks of birds taking flight
What an artistic and splendid delight
June brings roses, tulips, and lilies of the valley
A colorful display as a grand finale
July brings fireworks exploding with iridescence
Cheering independence of our country’s coalescence
August brings signs of ‘Back-to-school’ days
As the hot humid weather reflects the sun rays
September brings the blessings of harvest crops
With corn and pumpkins as photo backdrops
October brings the glory of Halloween décor
And each and every child wears costumes galore
November brings gratitude of a Thanksgiving feast
Where we all join hands in unity at least
December brings invocation of a Christmas treat
Giving praise for a blessed twelve months so sweet
