On Valentine's Day

Here’s a start: a candy heart Or long-stemmed bright-red roses; Lingerie, to make her day Romantic, one supposes. Not too hard to find a card With sentimental saying. For a treat, go out to eat (And naturally, you’re paying). Better yet, go into debt And buy a sparkly trinket. Dim the lights, so appetites Include champagne – then drink it. Or, don’t fuss and be like us – With years of love behind us, We’ve agreed, we do not need A token to remind us.

There was a time that I thought this was valentine's day, Ilene: "Better yet, go into debt And buy a sparkly trinket." Ha! Thank you for the reminder; I had forgotten it.

This poem is so charming Ilene. I identify most with your last stanza, though my husband did get me my favorite coral colored long stemmed roses. Love this sweet Valentine's Day poem. Happy Valentine's Day my friend! xxoo
