Valentine's Day

Valentine, Valentine, you are MINE!

Will you be my sweetheart? My girlfriend?

My Love?

Will you pledge with me to my Father above?

Will you stay with me in the hours so long?

Will you choose to be beside me steadfast and strong?

Will you be patient with me when I am obviously wrong?

Will you squeeze my hand when all the tears are gone?

And I can’t cry anymore?

Will you hold me close when the torrents of pain soar?

Will you love me when I’m a parrot, just a bore?

Will you always welcome me home, and open up the door?

Will you love me even when I snore?

When I forget a chore?

Will you love when like a tyrannical lion I roar?

Will you love me whether I am rich or poor?

Will you always love me, and will you be the one I adore?

Yes! I will love and adore you to my very core!

Your heart with mine together we will soar!

Valentine, Valentine, you are MINE!

Will you be my sweetheart? My love? My boyfriend?

Yes! Surely! Affirmative! You better believe it! That’s the truth! Period! Absolutely!

The End!

Vonda Hamilton wrote this poem for her husband on Valentines Day.

Love, that seems to be what Valentines is all about on the surface. Love, flowers, mushy cards, and romantic dinners are what people say that Valentines Day is all about. Some people say that this is a day to do something special to show your lover, significant other, boyfriend/girlfriend, or spouse how much you love them.
This poem that my mother wrote to her husband is sweet, sincere, and touching. When she wrote these words down she poured out her heart. She is basically saying I love you and I want you to love and be with me forever.
I've heard numerous friends complain about how they don't like this special holiday. It makes some people sad that don't have a certain someone. In certain cases, it makes some people wish for things that they are not meant to have at this point.
For instance we all want to be loved, and so it hurts if you don’t feel loved on this special day.  
There is someone who wants to be with you on Valentines Day and every other day.  He’s the one who made us and gave us the ability to love. God is the one who loved us first, by giving His one and only son to die on the cross for our sins. God wanted us to be able to spend an eternity with Him in Heaven.
So maybe if you didn't have a good day yesterday, and you felt sad because you didn't get a card or some flowers, look around you. Look at nature in all its beauty. Go outside and let the wind blow your hair. Sit in the grass and just thank God that He made such a special place for all of us. He made the earth just for YOU! 
Embrace His love everyday, because He has given us a gift far better than any stuffed animal. Always remember that you are loved everyday by your Maker!
