Valentine…

Valentine…
What will it take
To make a memory
How do you know
Before they form?
Will this day
Be one to remember
For its sincerity,
Perfect symmetry
The simplicity
Of the moment.
The elegance
Of a gesture
Innocently made.
The beauty of
An honest heart.
The radiance of a smile,
The turn of a phrase
That touches
You deep inside,
To reveal
The world
And all its gifts
Laid open.
A story board
Of holding hands
And stolen kisses,
Every time
You bend your head
To smell a rose.
All the simple things
In life,
It is my belief
You would do well
To have
Such times
To keep as memories
And even better
For you
Never to forget.
