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...
