Come and Gone

 

 

February came

And February is gone

And like this month of love

We too must move on.

 

Expressions of love

In February for so,

Now it is entirely up to March

To catch the overflow.

 

February is gone

But we should not quit

Even though much of the love

Was cosmetic.

 

This year just begun

Is now two months clear,

For those who are lagging

You must up a gear.

 

I’ll remember February

Very specially

On account of a special gift

To Lyn and me.

 

Our first grandchild,

Semaj is his name,

We praise our Almighty Father

From whom he came.

 

Like my own father

And also like me,

The charming little Semaj

Was born in February.

 

February 27^th

Was the precise day

That this wonderful package

Was sent our way.

 

Mike is over the moon

And Leah too,

More praise to the Father-

She has come through.

 

What a package of love

In this month of love

Given to Michael and Leah

From God above.

 

February is gone

But Samaj is still here

And the fact that love is too

To me is clear.

 

 

February came

And February is gone

But in March, April, May, June…

Love marches on.
