A Wish for February

In the heart of winter's deepest chill,
A whisper of hope, a wish to instill,
February's days, short and brisk,
Carry a promise, with dawn's risk.

Let each snowflake that falls and fades,
Bring warmth not seen in sun or shades,
For hearts entwined in frost's embrace,
Seek solace in the cold's brief grace.

May laughter echo, soft and clear,
Through barren trees, for all to hear,
And love, like seeds beneath the snow,
In February's chill, begin to grow.

A wish for peace, to gently lay
Upon each night and every day,
For strength within the bitter cold,
And stories, new and old, retold.
