A Happy Valentine’s Day

The wonderful month of February
We think of big, red hearts that say
Many wishes to you, my dear
And a happy Valentine’s Day.

We think of lovers and sweethearts
Of warm kisses, embraces, and hugs
Of boxes of candy, gifts and flowers
Children cutting valentines on the rug.

We think of someone special
Who brought love and joy to our life
Someone there through thick or thin
Whose support lightened bouts of strife.

Therefore, my darling sweetheart
Happy Valentine’s Day is my wish for you
For all the things you’ve done,
For all the things you do.

A lot of understanding
A lot of patience, dear
Are treasures that you’ve given me
While you kissed away every tear.

The joys of just knowing you
The magic of your touch
The sweetness of your gentleness
Have all meant very much

So I say to you, my love
May this day be yours I pray
As my special gift to you
On this wonderful Valentine’s Day.
