Valentines’ Love
By Steven Bates
The month of lovers has arrived
That day that chocolate sales contrived
The flower business will be booming
Roses and romance start to blooming
Yet there will be the lonely souls
Who won’t quite reach romantic goals
They will sit with broken hearts
Trying hard to mend those parts
Their shattered dreams, all too real
They can’t describe the way they feel
Trust betrayed; hearts ripped open
True love seems beyond all hoping
Yet there is hope, and there is love
I swear to you, by God above
The time will come that hearts will mend
Love will come and pains will end
For every soul, there is another
To fill the void like no other
True love’s out there for each one
Of seven billion under our sun
The odds are out there, so take a chance
Open hearts to new romance
Don’t let pain from past affairs
Affect your finding one that cares
Don’t give up on love’s my point
For love, like blessings, will anoint
Your head, your heart, your very essence
Just give it time to show its’ presence
But make an effort, don’t be shy
You’ve got to work, you’ve got to try
You’ve got to kiss a frog or two
And before you know it, love finds you!
I guess my point I’m trying to say
Is don’t be sad this Valentine’s Day
If you’re alone, heck, date yourself
Enjoy life, get off that shelf
Jump on down, get in the fray
Stay positive on this lovers’ day
You’ll find love, I guarantee
Just relax, it’ll come to be
And for those that say it isn’t so
I’ll tell you just where you can go
Go to the Word, the Bible, my friend
And you’ll find love till the very end
God’s love is there for you to find
Regardless of any other kind
His love is pure, His love is true
Thus my Valentines’ day gift to you.
