june
my sister was born in june
she smiled when she first came to life
so my mom called her merry
her arrival changed my life
she is a little delightful gift
i have always been grateful
because she is there
because i bring silence
and she breaks the silence
filling the cracks with joy
yes,
i am grateful.
but i forget that it is june sometimes
because when june comes
it also reminds me of this quote
i have been a student for most of my life
and am still be for a long time
and so june,
you reminds me that people will eventually leave
and life will still go on
i will meet all these friends and start building a new community
and time will set us apart
when june comes
but i will still be grateful
and be waiting for junes
again and again and again
not because of summers
but because of the hugs and loves
the sadness of departing
but also the excitement of what is waiting ahead
the mix of feelings
a good mix
