A MILLION WAYS It seems so, that now-a-days Cards and candy and that stuff Roses and other pretty flowers Sometimes, don't seem to be enough. In this age of self-indulgence And going to all of those extremes The true meaning of Valentines Has gotten lost, somewhere, it seems. We go out and spend that money Or use that plastic, if we're broke To try to convince our partner To believe, love words we spoke. But of all those million ways Of those dollars that we spend There are just a couple things To make love last to the end. To be a friend and confidant To be there and to reach out A look, a smile, a loving touch Is, what it really is all about. The cards, candy and flowers And all of those other things Will never be as important As the love that the truth brings. So, go out and get those gifts That may bring a tear and smile And then, all other days of the year Just do those little things, worthwhile. 02.11.2006 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. |
