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
