Valentine's
Day, without a sweetheart,
Someone to call my own,
Somehow seems much brighter
When a friend stops by my home.
A card in the mail from Grandma,
And one on the way from Mom,
Can go so far to help me see
I'm not a lonely one.
A Hershey's Kiss from a neighbour:
I have not really been kissed!
But it helps so much to know
This day I haven't been missed.
With friends and family to cheer me
I cannot help but smile:
I may not have a lover,
But I have love to last a while.
