Lenten Devotional for February 29

I am a little fellow,
      Though I’m always up to date.
The days I hold within my hand are only twenty-eight;
      But I just save my moments up,
      And count them o’er and o’er,
Till in four years I’ve saved enough to make up one day more.
But little folks that kindly are, and pleasant in their play,
May save enough in far less time to make a happy day.

Pauline Frances Camp, “February,” in St. Nicholas, 

February 1906
