New Year

The months went flying by

‘January’ was the beginning

Of a year forlorn with a sigh

‘February’ ushered the fall

In dead winter snow

‘March’ a trip into despair

Pain was my companion

A anxious whisper… why?

‘April’ held no answer

‘May’ was our sweet encounter

Soft as the breeze in spring

Gentle like an ‘Angel wing’

The lights of ‘June’ were dim

‘July’ took my voice

Blue ‘August’ crushed my heart

‘September’ was the magic

O’ Sweet ‘October’  

I hold You in my trembling heart

‘November’

Like flakes of snow so white
Will bless my life with eternal ‘Light’

‘December’
You promised to stay with me till the ‘End’

Hold my hand till it’s Time

For my hands to change into a wings and fly
