July

Joy filled their hearts when I was born Upon a warm summer's day. Loving folks were many who welcomed me Yet I'm alone in my long stay. Written 8/8/2015 My birthday 7/7/1918

not easy with the shorter months, but you did well with this one; the bittersweet poignancy of that last line clinched it as a winner for me - congrats on your win in my contest!

Wow, Joyce; so glad you included the year in your birthday. My father was born in 1918. I love that you are still enjoying the writing craft. Loved this little acrostic; little only because your month has just four letters.

The words flow with style and skill and roll their way from the page and into the reader's heart. Emile.
