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.

Too bad we can not yet share memories as easily as swapping photos on the internet . . . Aloha!
