As Spring nears
my mind revisits
spring
February
the white-gold band
encircles my finger
and my heart
March
the long white gown
decorates the closet
soon will decorate
of my life
September
two become one
and one becomes
three
her smiles encircle
our life
April
tiny daughter
three would be four
but alert brown eyes
flutter and close
back to three
May flowers
our son
winter's end
four at last
How the years
have blessed us
two separate lives
entwine into
two -- three -- and four
drawing the circle
larger
becomes five - six - seven
then six
growing seven - eight - nine - ten - eleven -- to fourteen
fifteen
pushing sixteen and seventeen
we ebb and flow
an ocean of life beginning and ending
until the shore will beckon
and laughing, holding hands
we too will depart
back to one

Love the imagery here, but why does September come after March?
I know, I wasn't sure how to do that either. Our daughter was born in September and then our second daughter in April, a year later our son in May.
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for your comments!
