There were December days

I had no fear

They filled them with happiness and cheer

In so many ways

But the world changed around me

And some things disappeared

The ones that I held dear

That I never see

Then came September days

Of hope and a start

Even though we were apart

I knew what you’d say

But then October came

And I started to fade

The promises that we made

All turned out the same

I didn’t know what to think 

When November arrived

I knew I’d rise up or I’d pay with my life

I was on the brink

And when December came around

It’s not the same anymore

Oh now my heart is so sore

But there’s no hope to be found

And January was cold

But I get to start anew

How I wish that was true

The joy is now old

But when March came in

And April showers washed away the pain

They let me dance in the rain

You forgave my sins

And May was beautiful

And in June I was reborn

And the flowers kept me warm

And again things were wonderful

I don’t know what August will bring

But for better or worse I will try

Because I want to be seen getting by 

And with joy I’ll sing

Gone are the December days

But there are new Septembers every year

And I go forward with fear

But I don’t let it stand in my way

June will come again

When sunlight shines on my face

And raindrops will quicken my pace

So I’ll hold on until then.
