29th

Leap Day is a reminder

That extra time does not exist.

We extend our paper calendars,

But the passing days persist.

We do not have forever

To work, to love, to play.

Tomorrow isn't promised

And long gone is yesterday.

So aim for your dreams

And listen to your heart.

Put an end to your regrets

Before your time comes to depart.
