Through all the changes
in my life, your love
has remained
constant and unconditional.
Though at times
you may have questioned,
worried or wondered...
you never stopped loving me.
On this day of love
I want you to know how very much that means.
You who have loved me first,
love me best.
Thank you for all the love you've shared.
Happy Valentine's Day

within my heart
that only you can fill.
For you had my love
right from the start
and I know you always will.
Happy Valentine's Day

Poetry...
Love songs...
Ribbons and bows...
Yeah, I'd rather have the chocolate, too!
Happy Valentine's Day

Don't be surprised
if you see a little naked guy
with a bow and arrow
running around your neighbourhood.
My weird Uncle Henry
is loose again.

It's Valentine's Day -
that time of year

of the grand,

Women are better.

Happy Valentine's Day
to my first husband.
That's just to keep
you on your toes!

I'm glad I married you.
And I bet the kids are, too!
Happy Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day
I thought we would have
some good clean fun.
Meet me in the tub.
*
Happy Valentine's Day
...and now I'm going to say something
that will make you feel ecstatic...
You have a chocolate deficiency.

This Valentine's Day

Valentine Tip #437:
The way to a woman's heart...
...is through her sweet tooth.
*
This Valentine's Day I want
a romantic meal...
Any place that doesn't ask,
'You want any fries with that?'
*
It's not every day that I tell you
I love you...
OK, maybe it is,
but Valentine's Day
is still special.
*
Even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart
Till the end of time
I Love You
*
How do I measure
The love I have for you?
I thought, while idly watching
A sparrow sippin' dew
And as I pondered thoughtfully
I gave my head a rub
And then I thought "Oh sod it
I'm going to the pub!"

Never Knew
I never knew what love meant
until you touched my life.
You give life it's self-meaning and purpose.
With the whisper of your name
the birds sing no more,
or perhaps I loose the ability
to hear their song.
My heart longs only for the sound
of your voice,
and the touch of your silky, soft hand.
I never knew life could be so full.
I never knew love could be so real.
I never knew what happiness was
until I new your love, dear.
With every breath I breathe,
with every beat of my heart,
my eternal soul agrees...
I never knew live until I knew your love.
*
I Love You For So Many Reasons
I love you for that certain smile that cheers me when I'm blue,
I love you for your tender kiss that warms me through and through.
I love you for your gentle hand, your understanding touch,
Your eyes that always seem to say, "I love you very much."
I love you for your faith in me, your sweet and patient ways,
And for the thoughtful things you do so often without praise.
I love you so for all these things and many others, too...
But most of all for what I am whenever I'm with you!
*
Love is a Miracle
Love is a miracle, sweet as can be,
That will always remain a complete mystery.
For though it is something that's centuries old,
It cannot be purchased for silver or gold.
But instead must be given of one's own free will,
And received with no promises it must fulfil.
And once it's exchanged in this time-honoured way,
There's nothing that love cannot manage to say.
No problems too great and no problems too small,
For love, like a miracle, conquers them all.
And leaves in their place such a feeling of peace,
That joy, just like love, cannot help but increase!
*
Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own ways;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong.
But rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love never ends...
So Faith,
Hope,
Love abide,
These three;
But the greatest of these is
Love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

I remember when we first met,
and the strong love that has
grown between us since then.
How full, yet short, the years have been.
A large reason for this is because of you
and your kind and giving ways.
You have made us a home,
warm with the joy
which only a family can bring.
You have stood by me in the good
and the bad,
the smiles and the tears.
I love you with a love
that goes beyond what I can express.
Thank you so much for being my friend,
my love and my wife (husband)!
