My heart sure is full this Valentine’s Day.

No chocolate or flowers required! (…Which is good, because I haven’t had time to go to the store this week. 😉)

I’ve written a few love poems,
but this one’s just for you:
Valentine,
glad you’re mine,
grateful for our time
together.
See, I’m not so good at
love poems,
am I?
Though, whether or not that’s true,
it doesn’t matter.
I could write
thousands of words,
send them out into the universe,
make them new every day,
spin them out of threads and star stuff,
and build a million little love stories
infinite webs and lines and paths
just for us.
And it still wouldn’t be
enough
to show you how much
I love you.
Everywhere. All around. In the brightest and the darkest places. Written on the faces of fathers and mothers, siblings, partners, and friends that become family. On every road, down every path, no matter the wrong turns and false starts, it’s still out there.
And you’re worthy of it.
You deserve it.
So, here’s your reminder, if you need it:
In this world, there is love. Yes, there’s hate, and fear, and anger, and sadness, but also, there is love.
You are loved.
