A Valentine to Everyone Here by Mary Ellen Smith
I made a valentine today
Thought of something nice to say.
Wrote it out in sweet repose
This or that about a rose.
Trimmed the heart with tatted lace
It put a smile upon my face.
Thought I then about my deed
As I glued on pearled seed
As I glittered up the red
A profound thought came to my head.
What’s in the heart can’t be measured
By a paper crafted treasure.
By the words that we might pen
We try though over and again.
So I’ll just write that my heart is brimming
And with this paper heart I’m trimming,
All I really want to say
Is have a happy love filled day! 02/14/2007 Author's Note: Happy Valentine's Day to all!
