Decorative cards, candy, and flowers are an integral part of Valentine’s Day—gifts given to show our love for others close to us.

 

But is there more that needs to be known? You will find out in the poem below, titled . . .

 

 

Understanding . . .

 

V iewing a world full of love may not be an easy thing to do.

A ll you ask, is for people to care, not everybody, but at least a few.

L ive, love, and respect those who you become close to.

E njoy their company, share their dreams, and be honest and true.

N othing is better than being with those who understand your feelings

    and can be depended on to come through.

T o find amongst them that one person to make your life whole

    is like seeing the sky in beautiful blue.

I  n a way that sends chills through your body; it is your cue

N ot to fade into the background, but to come forward, hold hands,

    and dance to the music, too.

E ngage in the fascination of a relationship meant to last and behold

    a wonderful future in view.

‘S mile, as day enters night, then bask in the warmth of a new day—

    one calm and alluring, with little ado.

 

D are to take chances—reach for the sky and embrace each day

    and each other, with love anew.

A dventures are yet to come, with new paths to take and fortunes

    to discover, as life unfolds before you.

Y ears pass and some memories fade, while others remain crystal clear;

    such is the beauty of a love that grew.
