February Days

Longer shadows

Brighter

Days

Kids and skates

And open sleighs

Along pleasant

Country

Ways.

Bright fires now

On lakes and

Ponds

Will warm cold

Hands and feet,

And pancakes

These mornings

Are maple

Syrup

Sweet

Buckets on old

Old maple

Trees

Now tell

That month

Is here…

The sweetest

And the

Shortest

Of all the

Country

Year.
