Acrostic Valentine Poem

H appiness is not a tended rose
A mid the prescient beauty of a garden:
P erhaps one senses soon some gate may close;
P erhaps one senses soon the earth will harden.
Y ears come and go like waves upon a shore,

V iolent or peaceful with the wind.
A fter one has given up on more,
L ove waits within the heart, its passion thinned.
E ven in a passage void of light,
N ether windings black with rage and grief,
T here are waters sweet with lost delight
I n which one finds a strong, serene belief.
N o happiness can overcome life's pain
E xcept one love, and love give life again.

You've Touched My Heart

You've Touched My Heart
Author Unknown

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

You Must Believe In Spring

You Must Believe In Spring

(lyrics by Alan & Marilyn Bergman)

When lonely feelings chill

The meadows of your mind,

Just think if Winter comes,

Can Spring be far behind?

Beneath the deepest snows,

The secret of a rose

Is merely that it knows

You must believe in Spring!

Just as a tree is sure

Its leaves will reappear;

It knows its emptiness

Is just the time of year.

The frozen mountain dreams

Of April’s melting streams,

How crystal clear it seems,

You must believe in Spring!

You must believe in love

And trust it’s on its way,

Just as the sleeping rose

Awaits the kiss of May.

So in a world of snow

Of things that come and go,

Where what you think you know,

You can’t be certain of,

You must believe in Spring and love.

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Evening Sky

"If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand."
