January
January, so you've met December
Touched his decorated tree
And seen the tinsel, star, and toys that please
'Pon New Year's Day you saw him leave
weakness hit you in your knees
'Twas such a cold experience that long lasting breeze
But in your cold depths you have healed wanting to meet February
Knowing with his appearance your cold will evaporate into the beginnings
of spring
Spring you haven't experienced only cold, rain, wind, ice and snow
But how you long to meet Spring and see the joy it brings
Only Hot Cocoa, warm fires and long lazy nights have you enjoyed
But you've heard of summer where the nights are warm and short and
people go out to play in the night seeing fireflies and moonbeams..
January you've been given a bad rap of having a ever changing temperment
Many don't look for your good qualities of letting the earth rest from
feeding all the shrubs, trees, flowers, and grass that drink the earth's life giving
nutrients......
January I am so glad that I got to meet you and will look forward to our time together
again next year.
Your Friend Always..
