A Valentine's Day Poem

Love hearts are all around  

Valentine’s Day is drawing near

Hubby and I don't make a fuss

We've been together many years.

Back when our romance was young

(And, let’s face it, so were we)

We embraced Valentine’s Day

Made a bit of an effort, you see.

I remember those exciting times

When we were truly smitten 💕

Valentine’s cards were purchased

And romantic words, written.

Cute toys were exchanged

And flowers were a winner

We'd often pop a cork (or two!) 

Along with a nice dinner.

Ads in the newspaper

Were carefully arranged

But, after we were married,

Well… Valentine’s Day changed.

I asked for no more flowers

Notices, or stuffed bunnies

Valentine’s Day became low-key

In order to save money.

Now we just exchange small gifts

To show that we each care

They’re often sweet and edible

…Chocolates (not underwear!)
