Your Valentine Box
By Don

Remember Valentines Day--
when you were young?
Remember that special box, you made
with red and white art paper,
and that big fat red heart?

Remember how hard
your heart beat,
as you opened your box to see
the Valentines you were given?

Remember feeling blue, just a little,
because the girl you liked,
gave a bigger valentine to another boy?

Remember wondering who--
anonymously gave you
the really big valentine--
that made your heart jump?

It's Valentine's Day, and
many years have passed
since you made a valentine box.
Make a new one.
It's not too late to catch
some of the love going around.
