POEM: Valentine

Once a year we take a day to celebrate love.
Valentine’s, the day of love.
Cherish your loved one.
Show them you care.
Show them they are precious.
Show them they are the most important person in the world to you.
Show them you know better than taking them for granted.
It doesn’t have to be in a pompous way.
It can be small or big.
Hearts, flowers, chocolates, plush toys, dinners, vacations, cuddling, hugs, kisses – there isn’t a wrong way to show love.
You do that every day anyway.
But celebrate it on Valentine’s Day.
