Belated Valentine Post: I wasn't going to post this because I was afraid people might take it the wrong way. For one, I don't believe in Valentines Day. You either love someone or you don't and if you do you show it every day in a lot of little ways. To set aside one day to show you love someone seems a bit of a copout to me. Also, let's face it. It's pure commercialism to get people to buy expensive gifts and there are actually those who put a value of love on the cost of the gift. Anyway, if Valentine's Day is your thing remember this is my blog and my humble opinion. With people getting jewels, and candies, and flowers I know they think I'm strange as I shake my head, smile, and say how nice. Because it is nice, just not my thing. So, I thought I'd share a poem I wrote for my husband about what not to get me for Valentine's day!

Don’t give me diamonds or rubies,
Jewelry is not my thing,
To show me how much you love me,
I don’t need the bling.

Don’t give me chocolates I beg!
For if they should cross my lips,
The moment of sensual pleasure,
Will live forever on my hips.

Don’t give me flowers or roses,
In a vase of crystal or glass,
I love the ones growing wild,
That decorate our yards grass.

The songs about your Zephyr,
That in the shower you sing,
Show me more how much you love me,
Than flowers or candy or bling.
