Although you said no gifts today
Surely because of the cost or expense
I decided to really overlook your request
For what you asked just made no sense
Valentine’s Day is a day of love and joy
To celebrate what we have been given
For me to overlook such a special day
Is to forgo my belief in miracles and heaven
So I write this poem just for you
To the angel who graces my heart and soul
I see our love as a newborn oak tree
That I know we’ll nurture and grow
While I may not get you fine chocolates
Or some expensive jewelry or diamond rings
I give you my feelings in my prose and words
And thank you for the happiness your love brings
For when most other gifts have broken
Or our memory of them is long gone
I hope that these words will make you smile
Knowing that in my heart you’ll always belong
So tonight we’ll toast just to us
Two hearts who have melded into one
Let us plan for a future of joy and happiness
For our life together has just begun
