A Valentine and Candy For Me

Today I wrote a valentine to myself Happiness as I sealed the envelope; For to truly love', one must first love themself I placed the valentine in the drawer of my vanity Thinking I may need it on a stormy day I sat on the chair, looked in the mirror and brushed my hair I took notice there were not many lines, though the vibrancy had once left me The door I closed so tight on his love took many years to do and when it was over, through a near by window, the sun! Today I wrote a valentine to myself and I must admit I rather enjoyed a chocolate Suddenly,there was a faint rap upon my door And when I opened it stood the most handsome gentleman I've ever known in my life I could tell that he had missed me though a kiss I was unsure if he would like I politely asked if he would like a chocolate? He accepted We talked of school days and it was nice I asked him not to say a word about the chocolate but somehow, I knew he would He waved Bye to me and said, Okay Grandma! Its times like these when your know your heart is alive and able to give For sometimes such beautiful things come from past tragedies It is just God's way I see it nearly every day I somehow believe that many aftermaths have a snow, white dove Faith, hope and love And the greatest of these three is love...
