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
