Twelve Months
The calendar has twelve months. Each one tells a little story.
In January, the year is new and cold. In April, the rain helps the flowers grow. July and August are hot. Children play outside all day.
In September, school starts again. In November, the trees are bare and the days are short.
I look at one month for a long time. December. That is the month my mother was born. She is not here now, but every winter I think of her.
Twelve months, four seasons, one full year.
