Linzer Tart
A bakery box was waiting
When my key unlocked the door.
Today’s the day of Valentines –
I knew what it was for.
I slit it open, took a look
And broke into a grin,
For something that I truly love
Was nestled there within.
It was a heart-shaped cookie,
Filled with berry jam inside.
For you who know me oh so well
Knew just what to provide.
I will indulge tonight and eat
This lovely Linzer tart,
A perfect symbol of the reason
That you stole my heart.
