What Is A Valentine
A Valentine means may things,
upon this special day.
It's more than Cupids arrows
as they so commonly like to say.

It's more than hearts and roses,
more than candy too.
It's something deep within your heart
that draws someone close to you.

Something in their chemistry
that makes you want them near.
Something in their calming ways
that settles all your fears.

Maybe it's in their closeness,
they are always there for you.
They show their admiration
for all the things you do.

Maybe it's in their attitude,
in their happy go lucky ways.
They comfort all your sorrows
on those cold and gloomy days.

Maybe it's in their concern for you,
by asking what is wrong.
When they see you sitting silently
for what seems so very long.

Maybe it is a secret,
and your love you just can't show.
You have to hold it deep inside
so that no one else will know.

No matter what the reason
you hold your Valentine so near.
The happiness they make you feel
fills your heart with love and cheer!
