Could you light a candle in the rain?
Would you dance on a street in Spain?
You could do one item on your bucket list.
You could dance, swing, and do the twist.
There are so many things you could do,
On a bonus day, like you always wanted to.
The 29th of February comes after three years,
Fill it with more joy and less of the tears.
Every four years we get an extra day to enjoy,
Play a game, watch a movie, or make a toy.
Start something small today and let it grow,
Like planting a sapling, to become a tree in the snow.
Write an outline for your next novel today.
Take a friend out for lunch and make sure to pay.
Write a song, paint a picture, or paint your face,
On the 29th of February, we live in our earthly place.
