Oh January

My January, I lost you last year Your leaves left a whisper as they floated by And I, I was left with a cold tear Yet to you- It was merely a glistening eye I remember so fondly the good times In the beginning of a year once so clean And when you ran away, I could not rhyme For my garden was left without green Dear January, now that you are returning Stay longer, my friend, and be kind Put your arm around me as the world is turning And, once more, give me some peace of mind PERSONIFICATION OF JANUARY J.

I don't think mine's better than yours, just different. Yours is more emotional and I like that. good luck in the contest :)
