Valentine Poem by Randy McClave

I wish to thank you O' Valentine
You are the happiest time of mine,
Love and happiness is now in the air
Because of you, and your presence there.
So, in salute I drink to you this glass of wine
I wish for love that I could build it a shrine,
To all the lovers I will give my highest regards
I hope they too will receive their gifts and cards.

This day of ours is filled with happiness and joy
Angels with their arrows you will deploy,
Every man as myself must find his own sweetheart
And every woman to find her true counterpart.
So, upon this day let us reminisce and also enjoy
To just be in love, and love not to betray or destroy,
Let us then eat and drink and give our thanks
To all men and women in all their ranks.

I wish to thank you O' Valentine
And all your secret magic I will not decline,
You bring a smile and joy upon my face
And in return there is a kiss and also an embrace.
Because of you my heart it will shine
And because of me your love I can define,
So happy I am this one time of the year
When love and joy is both known by a tear.
