To My Valentine
Love is:
A word, a feeling, prose, poetry,
Heartbreak, happiness, sharing and caring.
It is: Concernment, listening, understanding,
Compassion, trials and tribulations.
It is: A deep feeling that stirs
The innermost emotions of
A person’s very soul.
It is: A longing, searching revelation
Of what life is all about.
And: A bond between a husband and wife,
Parents, children, sisters and brothers.
Also: A special relationship between friends.
Love: The true overpowering feeling that
Makes life a beautiful, meaningful
And exciting experience.
Cherish it, pamper it, be grateful
For it.
For in essence, it is the very meaning
Of life
With it, we are whole;
Without it,
We are barren.
– Honey Snitzer
