Happy Valentine's Day!

A Valentine's Poem for rich and poor,

young and old,

single or wed

Today with all         its wonder waits

Who knows what will     befall   No need to fear;

nothing escapes The Greatest Love of all.  The heart,

 though primed with good intent…Is not a chocolate sweet

Its love is human, bred and bent  With hunger and deceit

But oh, what hope and happiness Instills this mortal glove

Because Someone saw fit to bless…Man’s want

and need with love; the best of this world’s

 treasure-trove can never fill the part

That God intended for His

 love that satisfies

the he-

We choose the language of wine, chocolate, roses

He, crown of thorns, sop of gall

He, by example showed love suffers crosses

He proved that love conquers all

So when love does not look like we envisioned

With starry-eyed fantasy

Lord, remind us of Love's ultimate mission

Remind us of Calvary
