My Valentine

This day is set aside 
So that we may impart 
Our feelings of devotion 
That comes straight from the heart 

Some show adoration 
With chocolate and sweets, 
With heart shaped cookies 
Or some similar treats 

Some choose to give flowers 
In a vase or a mug, 
With the picture of a bear 
Asking for a big hug 

Some send silly cards 
With a balloon or a toy, 
In hopes it will show 
The amount of their joy 

Some are more elaborate, 
Expensive and bold, 
In the form of a diamond 
Or something made of gold. 

I chose to be simpler 
Or humble if you will, 
To try and show you 
Just how I really feel 

So I wrote you this poem 
In hopes that you would see 
Just how special you are 
And how much you mean to me 

Although they are just words 
They are passionate and true, 
And meant to express 
The enormous love I have for you. 

You are my beautiful princess 
So elegant and divine, 
So I'm asking that you 
Be my forever Valentine.....
