I AM MY OWN VALENTINE

Be My Valentine, You Say?
Give my heart away?
Not in a million years,
It causes tears.

Been there
Done that
Bought the Shirt
Got hurt.

I did love, when young
Got stung
Grew older
Got bolder

Then settled
For someone
I knew was not right
We’d Fight,

He would always say “I’m sorry
For the rage
But For the abuse
No excuse

It was good for awhile
A smile
Little mouths to feed
Children in need

You can’t walk away
From them!

It takes wisdom
And years
To figure it all out.
And have no doubt


To find your voice
To make a choice
Gain insight
Do what’s right

For all
Of them!

Be My valentine, You Say?
Give my heart away?
Not in a million years,
It causes tears.

Free now at last
Heartache is past
For all involved
Problem solved

Clouds  have lifted
The sun has appeared
Life is great
Celebrate!

But to those I love
You know who you are
Friends that are dear
I know you can hear

I give my heart

to all
Of you!
