The greatest Valentine this world has ever know Is Christ whose depth of love the cross has shown It is this humble man from Galilee Who loved and healed untouchables like me It is the One who lived each single day To touch with love those broken on the way He saw with eyes that looked passed every sin To see the beauty that remained within He loved the ones that others thought were vile He graced them with His touch and healing smile His presence, sweet and tender, banished pain And just one look from Him melted the shame He is a Lover that's beyond compare For whom each secret thought lies naked, bare And yet He loves and gives without degree My Valentine's the best there'll ever be Eileen Manassian Psalm 73: 25 (New International Version) Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you

Absolutely lovely and uplifting, Eileen. Such a creative take on 'valentine'. I must also mention the fluidity and rhyme...both excellent...musical! Hugs // paul

Absolute beauty, a poem to the most special and essential presence of all, written with touching grace and gratitude. This would be great to have handy for meditation / prayer or before coffee time. It swept my spirit with the softest strokes ... Poetry hugs ... CayCay
