Enjoying February

January around the corner
Once again

I blink my eyes
It has been replaced by February

Will I still be here by March?
Is this my last summer?

I am not getting younger
There is no fountain of youth

My classmates are dying off daily
Hourly, every minute

Of course they are! I tell my twin sister
This is normal; we are 72 years

February, the month of valentines
I decorate my box with stickers and lace doilies
Wise enough to enjoy it
