Be my Valentine

I think of you often...I do,

From morning 'til evening I do,

When memories bring laughter

Or moments bring pain,

There is faithfulness, too, once again.

And time always shows me

And God always shows me

Both sunshine and rain,

How, we gain yearly

From the love we're share dearly.

So, my dear, my sweet bubbaloo,

Remember our love, dulce bubbaloo,

For we've come so far and there's so much to come

And I have love to yet give

For the life we will live...together.

Make little of what makes you cry,

Be sure that what makes you cry

Has greater desire and a more certain will

To pray for His help from above

and restore the feelings of love.

So let's stir up our passion today,

Let memories give way today,

To the now and the future

For the joys and hopes and for all

 The times my heart hears you call.

I'm so glad,

I'm so glad,

I love you

You love me fine

Be my Valentine.

My Valentine

Valentines is near

Just wishing you were here

You will always be near

My heart will never be the same

Beneath my skin, my soul lies waiting for you

Everyday I think of you I feel blue

Never give up hope

Remembering the first kiss

All I ask is to be with you

And for you to be my Valentine

For I will always cherish your heart in mine

Love's Philosophy

The fountains mingle with the river

And the rivers with the ocean

The winds of heaven mix for ever

With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single,

All things by a law divine

In one another's being mingle­

Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high heaven

And the waves clasp one another

No sister-flower would be forgiven

If it disdain'd its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth,

And the moonbeams kiss the sea­

What are all these kisses worth

If thou kiss not me?

Colors of Love

Love!

Love can be red, like the intense heat of a passionate kiss

.....the color of sweetness

.....the color of strawberries

Love can be blue, like the comfort we take in a pair of denim jeans

.....the color of strength

.....the color of perfect skies

Love can be yellow, bright and warm like the morning sun

.....like the sounds of laughters of children on the merry-go-round

.....like the sounds of fun from the boys flying kites in the open

fields

Love can be green, peaceful and serene I can hear your heart beats

.....it is the feeling of a loving hand that touch a grieving heart

.....it is the whispering of trusting words to a distressing soul

Love can be orange, the loudness of it can drive you up a wall

.....it can drive you to sing like nobody is listening

.....it can drive you to dance like nobody is watching

Love can be purple, the courage we need to love bravely and unselfishly

.....the moment I first kiss you i know that i am not afraid to risk involvement .....the day the declaration of your love for me was made known to the world

My Love

After so many years of loving you,

After so many things we've been through,

Still I couldn't find the reason,

Tell me why am I in so much love with you?

The day you left me,

My eyes couldn't stop crying.

The day I lost you,

A day didn't go I had pray for dying.

Come back my love,

Someone's still waiting for you.

Come back my love,

Someone will always wait for you.

Friends Forever

Are we friends,

Are we not.

You told me once, but I forgot.

So tell me now and tell me true,

So I can say I'm here for you.

And if I die before you do,

I'll go to heaven and wait for you.

I'll give the angels back their wings,

And risk the loss of everything.

Just to prove my friendship is true,

Just to have a friend like you.

Sadie

You've Touched My Heart

You've given me a reason

For smiling once again,

You've filled my life with peaceful dreams

and you've become my closest friend.

You've shared your heartfelt secrets

And your trust you've given me,

You showed me how to feel again

To laugh, and love, and see.

If life should end tomorrow

And from this world I should part,

I shall be forever young

For you have touched my heart

--------------------------------------------------------------

To My Husband, My Life, My Eternal Valentine

This is to thank you for being by side

For comforting and caring when I was all confused inside.

This is for the phone calls you make every day

Just to tell me “I love you” every minute of the day.

The way you take my hand in yours

For all the world to see

That this is the woman

Who is most special to me.

You always seem to know

When I need a hug, kiss or smile…

You never cease to amaze me

When you say, “I'm here…let's talk for a while.”

In decades past we've had our share

Of ups and downs and problems galore

But you are the one who remained at my side

Never thinking of walking out the door.

I adore the way you tell me,

“You are my forever best friend,”

I love the way I believe in you…

And that you will be there till the end.

Thank you for all the time you give me

And for saying, “It's never enough…”

Thank you for listening as I ramble on…

When things become rather tough.

We are in the best years of our lives

Thirty four years on our journey together

I want to grow old with you…and you with me

I want to love YOU---FOREVER.

Rain or Shine ... Be My Valentine

Raindrops on our dresses,

Sunshine on our face,

No matter what the weather,

The look of love won't be replaced.

The silent sound as rain falls,

The brilliance of the sun.

They only promise radiance,

Caused by either one.

Let it rain, or let it shine,

It won't matter none.

You're such a lovely Valentine,

In either rain, or sun.

Let it snow, let it hail,

Earth blanketed with white.

It won't prevent our day,

Or deny the magic of our night.

It's More Than Saying I Love You

We give on this day candy and flowers,

But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.

You have stood by my side and gave a smile,

As if to tell our hearts it's been worth every mile.

No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,

It's pretty simple and not at all hard.

Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,

And say without words that in your heart all is right.

You may say I Love You throughout the year,

But on this day you need to make sure.

The words so sweet and straight from your heart,

That your life would be lonely without my part.

So put forth the effort and take the time,

Look me in the eye and say I'm glad you're mine.

Valentine's Day Love Poems

How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being an ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints,--I love thee with the Breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barret Browning

Mother's Valentine

My mother made a valentine

So very long ago

And decked it out all prettily

Like for a special beau.

I watched her as she cut the heart

Then frilled it up with lace

And worked artistically away,

A smile upon her face.

She wove a ribbon, shiny red,

Among the lace so white

Then placed a picture of herself

Through a slit she cut inside.

I saw the words, “I love you, Dear,

I'm proud to be your wife

You're given me the blessings

Of a blissful, wedded life.”

I felt like laughing out for joy,

My childish heart was glad!

Mom's special valentine would go

To a special beau named Dad.

Valentine Memories

Grandma's book of valentines

Rekindles memory's flame,

Of days when she was just a girl

And life a happy game.

Each lace-edged card a getting bears

From friends of long ago,

Girls in gingham dresses

And that “special” Sunday beau.

It brings a twinkle to her eye,

Dissolving lines of age,

As we sit in the lamplight

And turn each well worn page.

It makes me kind of wonder

f perhaps some distant day,

A grandchild shall sit at my side

And leaf each page this way.

‘Cause I could sit for hours,

There at my grandma's knee,

And listen to the stories

That the valentines set free.

A book of antique valentines

That reaches black in time

To tell the tales of yesteryear

In illustrated rhyme.

Shirley Sallay

To Celia

Drink to me, only, with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kisse but in the cup,

And Ile not look for wine.

The thirst, that from the soule doth rise,

Doth aske a drink divine:

But might I of Jove's Nectar sup,

I would not change for thine.

I sent thee, late, a rosie wreath,

Not so much honoring thee,

As giving it a hope, that there

It could not withered be.

But thou thereon did'st onely breathe,

And sent'st it back to mee:

Since when it growes, and smells, I sweare,

Not of it selfe, but thee.

Robert Burns: The Poetry (1896)

One Perfect Rose

A single flow'r he sent me, since we met,

All tenderly his messenger he chose;

Deep-hearted pure, with scented dew still wet - -

One perfect rose.

I know the language of the floweret.

“My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”

Love long has taken for his amulet

One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent yet

One perfect limousine, do you suppose?

Ah no, it's always just my luck to get

One perfect rose.

Dorothy Parker
