On Valentine's Day
I think about those matchless people who
Give extra meaning to our lives - the very special few.
Without them, skies would turn to grey;
Things wouldn't be the same;
Life wouldn't be as colourful;
It would be a duller game.
And when I contemplate that group –
Friends and family who are mine,
who have cheered and encouraged me,
who go out of their way
to be kind and caring,
who have enriched my life
just by being themselves.
I appreciate and treasure you,
You’re essential, Valentine!
