Valentine's Love?
The argument for Valentine’s Day
Is that it’s a validation of love based on pay.
If you love me big I’ll know by your gift & its size
If no gift at all there’s no love and no prize
Is this what we are reduced to on this day?
One day a year to express our love in this way?
Love is unconditional every hour, every day, and every year
Don’t wait for an occasion for your love to share
Flowers, dinners and chocolates are great
For any occasion to celebrate
Love is expressed in many shapes and forms
For each of us there are different norms
Romance isn’t just about gifts and flowers as a must
Rather looking down the path ahead with love, respect, loyalty and trust
What good is a gift on this so called day of hearts?
When the giving is over and the giver departs
Sets sail away from the positive values that you hold near
Does it make it ok because he or she called you ‘Dear’?
The moral of this little story
Is to love and be loved for who you are and all your glory
Love 24/7/365 days a year with an open heart
Never measure your love based on what’s in a shopping cart!
