Valentine's Treasures

No, I will not dis or envy those who celebrate this day with all the hyped-up romance, flowers, hearts and kisses! For when thinking about it; why should we gloom with feelings of lost, loneliness and pain? Thinking we have no one to share the joys of this day. For in fact every one of us, if we took the time to think, that there are plenty of people out there who love us and really do care. So to all who think they may not have that "special someone" in there lives, I say think again, for you do have many who think you are wonderful and grand. And to those in my life I'd like to say Thank you for being my friend... this poem is for you!

Valentine treasures are people who

have often crossed your mind,

family, friends and others, too,

who in your life have shined

the warmth of love or a spark of light

that makes you remember them;

no matter how long since you’ve actually met,

each one is a luminous gem,

who gleams and glows in your memory,

bringing special pleasures,

and that’s why this Valentine comes to you:

You’re one of those sparkling treasures!
