Through the Year
January's cold caress gives way
To February's brief embrace.
The blustery winds of March hold sway
'til blushing April shows her dewy face,
Then coquettishly she'll skip away
And leave us mid the darling buds
And wrapped up in the lusty arms of May.
Joyful June comes bouncing in
With matronly July up close behind her.
The golden days of August reign
Then pale beneath September's scholarly reminder
That sly October's opalescent bliss
Will leave us eager for November's frosty kiss
'til gay December dances through
All tinselly and merry.
And even though we know she cared,
She'll leave us thrilled but unprepared
To face and try to gracefully embrace
Another January.
