A Special Month

 

I don’t set much store by months

Except, of course, February,

It’s the birth-month of many I know

Including me.

 

It is special and exclusive

Hence the number of its days

And it is different from all the rest

In a most significant way.

 

It is called the love month

And we all know the reason,

It is that special time of the year

When love is the season.

 

 

Some may argue erotic love

But that is love too

And it is the kind of love, my friend,

That cause me and you.

 

 

The love of a man to a spouse

The love of a woman to her man,

God set this up from creation

In His reproductive plan.

 

 

 

February is a special month

All February-born will agree,

And yes, it’s not as long as the others

But enough for you and me.

 

Our hearts are big enough

To share love with all the rest

So, if you were not born in February

There is no need to stress.
