Today the Calendar Has Something To Say
Upon hanging a new set
up on my wooden cabinet
I put red marks on the days that was meaningfully done
Where I count the numbers
from the first number that is one
down from the last possible day that is the number thirty-one
Where I wait for the long years
to pass all the things that caused me fears
starting from the weeks up to the very short days
It was still vivid in my mind
where there are colorful fireworks you will find
A new year starting on a happy January
It was a sunny day in February
and all people were very happy
for it was the month of love for all to share
I am nervous this month of March
for I am on the stage for a ballet dance
yet I am very happy because sharing my talents was a chance
Sadness was within my heart this April
when my favorite grandpa died
it was a gray morning when all of us cried
Wedding day the traditional way
My aunt was glowing
that month of May love was overflowing
You're all invited this 23rd of July
because it was my birthday
lots of foods and balloons are on your way
Days and months had passed and now it's December
Christmas lights are bright and the nights are cold
It is the season for great storied to be told
Upon seeing this old and dusty calendar
things from the past came back onto my sight
memories that are bad or good and dark or light
All are special and will always be a part of me
even I bought a new one today
I'll keep this old one to be remembered everyday
