Valentine´s Day.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Prologue:
A close friend wrote to me a letter
about her problems having a special friend,
and now that Valentine´s Day is approaching

she wrote as follow
permit me if you allow

The story:
Would You Be My Valentine?
I have the choice out of so many
best friends, old friends, all mine
I have not one friend for Valentine

She has a special boy whom she wrote
asks him as above, the question in her note
but he was so shy, he dared not to reply
her reaction was quickest, please just come,
no present needed. I don´t tell you why

he told her despite his shyness
for Valentine´s day you need red roses
one bouquet full, I´ll bring it myself to you
you will be sure very happy
this emotion is not mine nor yours,
happiness is mental, no material possession
you or I, as long as it is mentally,
do not ask me why it will sure make you very happy
you are happy finally and so will I be too....

Epilogue:
Four years later I attended their wedding celebrations and now they have 4 children, twins were born twice. I have carried this happy story on my mind one decennium long

Wishing YOU ALL a very Happy Valentine´s Day!
