A Year

January

A new year

Celebrations

Resolutions

New friends

Forgetting old people

Old mistakes

Cold

 

February

Love

Or the lack thereof

Forgetting last year

I’m okay on my own

I’m strong by myself

 

March

The luck of the Irish

My little Irish grandmother

Red hair, green eyes

My red hair, brown eyes

My grandmother sips her coffee

She raised me

 

April

Snow is melting

I am softening

My walls are thawing

I am still growing

 

May

Flowers are blooming

Month of the blessed Virgin Mary

Dedicate myself to religion

Mother’s day

Appreciate my mother,

My best friend

 

June

School is out

Months of adventure

My favorite time of the year

The sun kissing my skin

Living outdoors, never in

 

July

Sweat drips down my brow

I am running across the field

Playing with my team

Season tournaments

Fruit and iced tea

 

August

One year older

One year wiser

One year closer to freedom

One year left until freedom

 

September

School is back in session

Glasses glued to my face

Eyes buried in a book

Things are looking up

I am feeling fresh

 

October

Forty hour weeks are getting tough

Homework is piling up

Chapters unread

I’m tired again

I’m not sleeping again

I’m not eating again

 

November

Food is important

You need it to survive

Breakdown without food, sleep, relaxation

 

December

The holidays are here

Snow and ornaments

Wrapping paper and stockings

Treat yourself

Winter break is here

Finish what you’ve started

Make memories

Be grateful and love
