We remember a martyr
Who lived compassion
With romance
And chocolate
And the trappings of love
We see on silver screens
Not the quiet everyday
Of comfortable mornings
Nor the silliness
Of midnight dances
As children pile into bed
It is not the love we know
That is recognized with glamour
And public declarations
But it is a day
To make a splash
To celebrate
Love as spectacle
Far beyond the love
That was sainted ~ Caroline A. Slee
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! 💗
