Calendar
In January
With Mother Mary
We wed down at the chapel
In February
Cold and airy
Your cheeks as red as apple
And in mid March
Under a golden arch
You said we would have a daughter
But then come April
A spring too fatal
For we had quickly lost her
In late May
I heard you say
We would be forever
Although in June
It came to soon
We were not together
At the end of July
I saw you cry
Through your open window
Then in August
You never saw this
I threw away your pillow
In September
I still remember
I got the call I dread
And in October
No longer sober
They found you cold and dead
In November
To control my temper
I enjoyed the end of fall
Lastly in December
Your darkened dying ember
I could not picture you at all
