Why today and not tomorrow,
Or perhaps even yesterday
To show your thanks with gestures,
For the love you feel each day?
Surprise me on a midsummer night,
Or a Tuesday, late afternoon
Not with chocolates or with roses,
But with your heart when in full bloom
Show your love not designated,
By a holiday of, store front clues
To remind you that you love me,
As I hope the other days you do
Dear sweet Valentine,
You are a saint
Please don’t get me wrong
But don’t you think it would be nice,
If this day could last,
Without your hint,
Perhaps a whole year long?
A quick poem for https://poetscornerblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/31/poetry-challenge-valentines-day-poem/ As always fun to do for the change of pace. Thank you, Harry!

What a beautiful sentiment! And I am in full agreement, why do we need a holiday or other special occasion to tell each other how much they mean to us, do they really mean any less on September 26th, or January 19th? Thank-you for such a wonderful thought. 🙂

😀 I wrote one along the same lines and I called it Valentin’s day. It comes so quickly. 🙂
