The bright morning sun encourages This Leap Year February is nearly over The morning light is higher in the sky Days begin earlier and end later We have hope that the dread will end Cold, snow and ice have been haunting The lake must be weary vacillating From calm to stormy We are not foolish The season may be coming to a close This will be in name only It could be until the middle of May Until the frozen tundra yields to The warmth of the sun and The gentle soothing rains Snow will surround early daffodils Finally we will have about two weeks In no-man’s land where everything Appears to be beautiful and at peace Suddenly weeds and bugs appear Grass is long and needs cutting Lawnmowers need to be fixed Stones raked out of the lawns Happiness is not pervasive We will not sink into despair Windows will be washed Cleaning taken care of The car polished Bushes cut back and gardens tended Fragrances will be remembered Birds and nature will sing to us All is back as it should be Stanski February 24, 2020 ^
