To my secret valentine Little flower of joy Warming hearts of passions So pert, so prim, so coy Grasping for the words to say What others never knew The greatest of life’s treasures Kept deep inside of you The understanding, joy and love That dwell within your soul That never found a fountain For these gifts to e’re be told They’re written in your gestures And the warmth within your smile And for one glimpse into that place I’d walk a hundred miles But I know just from what you do The words you cannot say The magnitude of your sweet heart That’s clearly on display And so on this the day of hearts From my poor heart to yours I offer you a valentine That from my fountain pours Happy Valentine’s Day Liz |

Wonderful - Simply wonderful... Have a happy Valentine's Day, Liz...  Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity. |

This has got to be one of the sweetest Valentine messages I have ever read and I am sure that the one this one is for is floating miles high right now. I am not going to try and guess who it is but instead just enjoy knowing that someone out there has touched the heart of one of Passion's masters of the pen and one of these walls most sincere and sweetest poets around and that would be YOU. Beautiful words and a poem that stands on it's quality alone then wrapped in a true sincere packaging. |

THank you for your sweet replies to this poem. Mark, tou make me weep. I think Poetdevine knows the answer, and since the day is almost over, at least here on the east coast, I'll have to admit, it's Pepper. Happy Valentines Day, my dear Liz |

I knew it had to be someone very special to touch a heart as dear as yours... and I couldn't agree more with your selection. That sweet lady lifts so many hearts... and doesn't even realize how much sunshine she shares. *S* Beautiful poem, Elizabeth! |

I was pouring over old Valentine's from my children when they were in grade school and this is such a beautiful reminder of what the day can bring. Thank you for sharing this with us. "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |
