Valentines day will soon be arriving
Second most notable gift day of the year
Cards and candy exchanged by sweethearts
A day for lovers so precious and dear

There will be picnics galore
Candlelight dinners for someone dear
Celebrations of dance and delight
To commemorate this day of the year

Hubbub of busy shop keepers
Chocolate the preferred item on the list
Balloons and special floral arrangements
Sent to your Valentine sealed with a kiss

The lonely of the world won't celebrate
Fragmented pieces of their life not restored
They will make busy window shopping
Never once entering the store

Then comes the after Valentines special sale
You'll pick candy from the shelf
A lovely card displayed on your table
To my Special Valentine, and sign yourself

Welcome to Pip, dear Paul!

I think this is a cute "Special Valentine" poem, indeed we must never neglect to love ourselves ...

Love,
Margherita

Popping this back up,
simply because the day
will soon be upon us.

I luuuve candy....and yes we should have our own valentine day(sss). Nice one.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
