February 29th

We've each been given an extra day,
It happens one year in four,
And we will have to account for it
When God's adding up our score.

May I not waste this precious day
As I have so often before,
Nor spend it carelessly and
Then send it out the door.

We've each been given an extra page,
On which to write our name
And if I leave this page a blank,
I can't live down the shame.

So please, dear God, when my time comes
To meet you face to face,
I hope to say I used this day
Making Earth a better place.

Ah yes.  I hope as well to have left something better than I happened upon it.

Love it Joyce!
