To All You Old Valentines Who Have Been Around the Block
This Is For You
Just when you thought Valentine's Day was over
Guess again
Many years have come and gone
One day a year isn't that long
For all those mothers and wife's
Grandmothers and aunts
Sweet daughters and young children
Lovers who are floating on air
Friends who you can't resist
Young love is in bloom
There is no need to rush
To take those cards off the table and desk
Watch the flowers wilt and die
The box of candies being gobbled up one by one
Those teddy bears tossed aside
The cute little gifts forgotten about and tucked in some forgotten place
When there is so much more to see
With all the love that we give constantly
Go back to what made you so happy
Put that smile on their face with a wonderful hello
Followed by a great big hug that temporarily squeezes the life out of them
The time with each other
Talking and sharing those special moments
That bring to people together
Spending more time agreeing than arguing
Working out your differences
Making each other happy many times during a day
How nice is it to see
Your Valentine larger than life
Treated with respect and kindness
Appreciated for all the things they do
Finally thought of often
For who they are and making sure they are feeling o.k.
Receiving a little more love by the end of each day

Joy 56 If I remember correctly I was always trying to write like you. We had so much fun. I kept writing and you moved on to bigger and better things. I am still the same and am so happy and pleased to hear from you. We have a lot of catching up to do. I hope your Valentine's Day was extra special. I hope you enjoyed my stoem (story/poem). Have a wonderful night.

Devika Primic I think we all can find someone who deserves a little love. If it is a neighbor, friend, boy or girlfriend, husband or wife we all should be treated nice. How often do we forget the members of our own family ? Spending time starts now. Thank you for spending time to read and comment. Have a great day.

A special day for love and romance. Time spent for each other is so important. Love is the greatest when you have it.

Dora Weithers The best thing about love is that it doesn't require money. Just time, friendship and sharing. The other things are nice when possible. Valentine's Day can be a reminder of caring for people in our lives every day. I think we all like to be remembered for the good that we do and not the bad. Thank you for reading and finding time to comment. Our world is busy with so many new problems that seem to arise every day. I think we too often forget all the good that we have done for years.
