So I cannot remember
sharing a Valentines' day
with anyone in so long...
and the only one I vaguely
remember
is now tainted by
what followed.
And yet,
more then most holidays
it passes without
much notice!
Married..there is expectations
as to what it should be.
Single...
its just a day!
The first valentine's day alone
hurt..
But, now 5 holidays later..
I can smile at the commercials..
I can giggle with my friends
going on dates,
and feel thrilled for
my married friends
celebrating with partners...
and I can know,
its just a day.
chocolates and flowers
mean something
only when accompanied
by mutual love and respect!
And so,
I wish the world
a Happy day
of love.
Because no matter
how much life
has told me differently;
love matters!
loving matters!
and celebrating that matters
too...
so if you have a love;
celebrate!
and if you are waiting
for that day..
celebrate you!
And in the mean time
I shall be celebrating
my greatest loves;
my Lord
and my Children...
followed by my family
and my friends...
so it looks like
I am not skipping the day after all!
happy Valentines day!
It is just a day- truly. And like any other day, I make sure I tell ALL of those I love how much I do. I have been single a long time but it has never been a 'couples only' holiday to me.
ReplyDeleteBut then, it is not the only day of the year I show my love and affections either.
Have a wonderful day filled with love
Hehehe, hubby gave me nothing for Valentine's day, I gave him a recycled box of chocolates as in a student gave it to his teacher who gave it to me to give to him ;o)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you too!
