Every four years
we get an extra day
to do with what we please,
not to waste it away.
We carry on
as the soldiers we are
and change nothing at all
which never gets us far.
For 366 days
is a luxury indeed
as we always wish for one more
in our hasty greed.
One extra day
may not seem like much
but spend it being grateful
and don’t use it as a crutch.
