Dee Daffodil - Leap Day

This is the day...
Of the year that is strange
This is the day...
Of a year marked for change

I knew it was marked
Within minutes of midnight
When the first subtle shock...
Took flight

Since then...
It's been wave after wave
Of the tides of change...
Lapping my shore

Some may be good...
Some...not so...
But...change there will be...
That's for sure!

This is the day...
Of the year that is strange
This is the day...
Of the year marked for change

So on this February 29th...
I think it was fair
To be surprised not...
By anything coming my way...

For this was the day...
Of the year that is strange!
