A VALENTINE MESSAGE

 A VALENTINE MESSAGE

By Peter Woodgate

I could, of course, have bought a card,

Showing other people’s words,

But, in truth, they should be mine

To be of any worth.

A big red heart, a teddy bear,

Just commercialised produce,

This heart of mine, you cannot see,

But that is no excuse.

For it is full of your embrace,

Your love and kindly soul,

You touch so many people’s hearts,

And that should be my goal.

But I can only concentrate,

On one, and that is yours,

It is the only one I love

Unique, of that I’m sure.
