Be My Valentine

Tomorrows the 14th of February
It's just another day for me
I recall when it used to be special
But sadly it's empty for thee

Like last year this day will pass
As so many have before
Again I dream of a lassie out there
Whom one day I'll adore

For out there a lassie exists
To share the Glens and Ben's
Progressing into our future
When we awaken we're more than friends

For if that day should arrive
I'll be the grape tied to the vine
Heart felt sweetness I'll be
As she becomes my Valentine

LIke Sara, I am wondering if your valentine will want to see this one! But anyway, I can relate to the feeling sometimes! Keep on with that prolific pen!

I'd give you my heart if you'd be my Valentine, James. It's sad to spend that day alone. Dreading it. Such a warm and tender poem! Love, Carolyn
