Twas Valentine Eve and all through the store
Balloons everywhere and no carts by the door
The card aisle was packed with late shoppers and lovers
Hoping something would do; hoping they would discover
The perfect gift, perfect greeting to take to their spouse
To bring peace and harmony back to their house
We need special days: Valentine's, Christmas, birthdays
To make amends for the myriad, the hundreds of ways
We fail to be loving, thoughtful, and grateful
To pay for the times we're sarcastic and hateful
A day here and there just isn't enough
To make up for the days we leave in a huff
Forgetting to say what is deep in our hearts
Ignoring our loved ones, tearing families apart
Instead, let's make every day one of the kind
We work a bit harder and better to find
The words or the actions, the best ways to share
The thoughts and the feelings, the love and the care
