Valentines Day 2020

 A special poem for a special day.

I need to go into the greeting card business.

VALENTINES DAY 2020

And so another year 

Begins in this way

In the second month 

On the fourteenth day

A day for young hopefuls 

To broadcast their cards

While tactfully skipping 

The whole psycho ward

A day for sad sacks 

To mope and to whine

About that ‘someone’ 

They’ll never find

A day resplendent 

With pink and red art

And invisible arrows 

Piercing young hearts

A day for fancy dinners

Chocolates and bubbly

And other activities 

That involve getting cuddly

A day for sweethearts 

To reminisce 

And entice the one 

They like to kiss

A day to look back 

And to say ‘well done’

I’m grateful to have you

Cause you’re still the one

So considering all this 

And all these words that you’ve read

And the brilliant mosaic 

They’ve placed in your head

Would you do me the honor

Just one more time

And be my forever 

Valentine?
