A Day For Love Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

Valentine’s Day is reserved for expressing loving ecstasy
Twenty-four hours for gift giving that encourages intimacy
What kind of special gift could possibly convey and relate?
Revealing feelings of love so complete… for a true soul mate

Romance has been promoted with a love philosophy over the years
What enables an admirer the permission to turn romantic gears?
Can a man find a way to wrap devotion and tie it with a big red bow?
Give a special gift followed by a loving kiss… that sets two souls aglow

A big heart shaped box of sweet dark chocolates is the perfect selection
What better way is there to say, 'I love you' with super sized affection?
The moment has arrived and with clever deception the gift is disguised
The occasion will be enhanced when unexpected… she will be surprised

Your love is long lasting… prolonging the presentation won’t paralyze
Now you have arrived, your angel will be waiting for you in paradise
Lights are dimmed, candles lit and the table is modestly set for dinner
The gentle flames symbolize eternal love; you feel like a lottery winner

From the other room comes the reassuring sound of growing love
Running from the playroom… are the kids that you are proud of
They are all happy as they greet you with their energetic cheers
Stepping from the savory smelling kitchen is your wife of ten years

Today your family thought they would do something special for you
Their love for you is huge. Sit down and have a bowl of tasty stew
With a smile the Valentine gift is revealed and given to your spouse
With a kiss she says, we’ll share this gift of love in this blessed house.
