A Valentine gift,
The tiny pastel hearts spilled from the bag,
Covering the kitchen table
With confectionary conversations of love:
“Hug Me”
“Lover Boy”
“Sweetheart”
We have shared many tiny
Conversations of love.
Linked together
They create a lifetime of
Loving gestures;
A habit of kindness
And respect;
A home filled With harmony.
They are the sugar-coated minutia
That form the building blocks
Of an enduring relationship.
Hearts freely given -- Everyday.
