Valentine's Day
Valentine’s Day
Pink lacy cards,
heart-shaped boxes
of sweet chocolates,
bouquets of roses,
candlelight dinners,
romance in the air.
A heartbreaker
If you have lost the
love of your life
and are outside
looking in at the party.
No romance today.
But love is many things.
Valentines are sons,
daughters, children,
and grandchildren,
dear friends whom we
love, and who love us.
We have our memories,
stored in picture albums,
in family stories and jokes,
and in our own hearts,
where the romance we
once had still lives.
