Valentine’s Day - with a twist.



It’s Valentine’s Day,

And so what does that mean?

Declarations of love,

Or a day’s contravene?


Now don’t get me wrong,

It’s so nice that folks can,

Show their love to the world,

Posts galore, Instagram.


From Facebook and Twitter,

Snapchat and YouTube,

To WhatsApp and Tumblr,

Pinterest and QQ.


But a lack of a post,

Or a card that’s not there,

Doesn’t mean they don’t love,

Doesn’t mean they don’t care.


Yes it’s so commercial,

It’s only one day,

Some choose to indulge,

Others stay well away.


Whatever you choose,

Be abstain or take selfies,

Remember those singles,

Up there on the shelfies.


They won’t tell their secret,

Life’s good up there too,

It’s not all just cynics,

Humbug and boo hoo.


There’s none of that pressure,

Oh what will I buy?

To impress my girl?

Declare love to my guy?


To be single is great,

Life’s content with yourself,

And we all know the view’s

Better there on the shelf.


For no one will treat

Yourself better than you,

You know what you like

And what you want to do.


So this Valentine’s day,

For couples and singles,

Remember that love’s so

Much more than these symbols.


Be kind to each other,

We all have our tales,

Of laughter and sorrow,

Of triumphs and fails.


You are not defined

By this one single day,

But by your own actions,

Your choices, your way.


Enjoy Valentines Day,

For it’s only a droplet,

On the long path of life,

And an excuse to eat CHOCOLATE!!
