Energized

With February so inclined
to grant me one whole extra day,
perhaps I’ll stay inside, reclined,
as wintertime demands his say.

With February adding to
the calendar a twenty nine,
I could find many things to do;
I'm grateful that this time is mine.

A luxury which time does give
before March comes to show his face.
Therefore it is a time to live,
and live it with a full embrace.

So thankful for the extra time
that every four years we do see.
To waste the day would be a crime—
thus un-reclined is what I’ll be.
