August.

Oh, hello August, you beautiful lady.

August, you are like the sunset of summer days
Summer's swan song, if you will.
August, I both love you and loathe you.
You are the beacon of change, and the comfort of light.
August, you are the mature cousin to June and the diligent protege to October.
August.
If I were to have more children, maybe I would call one of them August, simply so I could always remember that beauty exists in the enjoyment of right now.  And so I could teach myself that change is always around the corner, sneaking up on us faster than we can handle it, really.
August.
