Happy Valentine To My Friends On AP

Happy Valentine To my Friends on AP

Here’s wishing everyone of you
A very happy 2006 Valentine’s day.
Precious to me are all of you here
Please believe me when I say I care;
Years of friendship’s that I will cherish.

Valentine’s is a special day for lover’s
And friends to show how much they care,
Lift up your heart and spread the love, let
Everyone feel the joy that radiates from you,
Now is the time to tell the ones you love
That they are the most important people
In the world that matters to you, now I’ve
Never received a valentine gift from Bob
Even though I know that he loves me.

That is not as important as showing me that
Our love has stood the test of time for 44 years.

Marriages have their ups and downs I agree
You have to work at it, life’s never easy.

Flowers, chocolates, candies are given or
Received, if you’re lucky that is; woe is me
I would love to receive a Valentine’s card
Even though I said it’s not important earlier
Now I want one! or I’ll sit down and cry!
Drop my bottom lip and pout ‘til I get one
Sing a song if I have to, nah, I can’t sing.

Oh boy, that did me good to let off some steam
Never mind, I’ll be back to normal when it’s over.

Anyway, I hope all of you have a wonderful day
Plenty of flowers and gifts, but most of all, Love.

    Venting is great--don't feel bad--mine lasted for 48 years and I got a lot of boxes of chocolates.
    As a diabetic, I had a good reason to pass them around (all sugar is forbidden.) Guess who ate most of them.
    Ahem.

    Joan, When I was married I never got even a word of remembering this day. The only difference is that my husband really didn't love me, or any other human! LOL This is such a thoughtful poem, one that could only come from your pen. Happy Valentine's Day to you!

    Dear Bea,

    Well, I sent you a Valentine card, so you can dry your eyes and stop pouting. And who knows? Just because you're you, there might be another one in the pipeline for Angelica, the poet with the big heart, the fountain of forgiveness, the patience of a saint, the courage of a warrior and the wisdom of a mother.
    Only you would have made your entry a Valentine to all your friends on AP. I wish you best oif luck in the voting.
    Applause, deepest love, hugs and kisses XXX Hugh (R.)

    PS: I only just now noticed that is is an acrostic!!

    I missed this one somehow. Thank you indeed. Valentines day means candy so I like it. That, Halloween and Thanksgiving, they're all food holidays.

    Do ecards count, I'll send you one of those.

    Sweet!

    "Lift up your heart and spread the love" is what you do every day, Joan. This is fun to read, a nice acrostic with feelings that we all have. The gifts don't mean as much as the love we know we have, but they are really nice anyway.
    Best of luck in the contest, and happy Valentine's Day.

    What a fun way to say Happy Valentine's Day, Joan I know it's a day late ..well maybe two days late in Australia, but I hope your Valentines Day was a super one... AND that your dear hubby at least gave you a Valentine smooche...lol... Guys..they're so dense sometimes. Mine at least remembered to wish mew a Happy One, and that's okay... we're int he middle of moving our office and getting stuff organized...it's a miracle either of us even knew what day it was.

    Geeshe... am I rambling or what!!?? Anyway, I love your Valentine acrostic, it's pretty cool

    Love and 's

    lol...this was delightful. It's like you came alive and grabbed this reader as the acrostic went on. I could almost hear you speaking and sighing woefully.
    Thank you for entering the contest.

    Wow, first a nice Valentine's greeting, and then a little rant. We all have our frustrations, and it does help to let off steam in a controlled release.
    Happy Valentine's to you, Joan, I hope you get a sufficiency of hearts and flowers this year!
