Friend,
Be My Valentine
Walk with me in love
Talk to me
about what you cannot say to others
Laugh with me
even when you feel silly
Cry with me
when you are most upset
Share with me
all the beautiful things in life
Fight with me
against all the ugly things in life
Create with me
dreams to follow
Have fun with me
in whatever we do
Work with me towards common goals
Dance with me
to the rhythm of our love
Walk with me throughout life
Let us hug each other
at every step in our journey
forever
in love

- Susan Polis Schutz









ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE
WHAT IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO GIVE YOU?









Love Is Love
Love is a feeling beyond expression.
It is a deep tug at your heart when you aren't looking.
Love cries, it bleeds, it hurts, it tears your world apart.
But if you follow the path,
Love can lead you beyond your dreams.
It takes your heart to levels never before experienced.
Love thrusts you into the arms of another
Creating a fantasy surrounding you while you try to figure it out.

Go ahead.
Ponder it.
Concentrate on it.
Try to explain it.
You can't.
Love is love.

It can't be described, explained, or given in a box.
But when you have it, you know it.
It is safety, honesty, loyalty, and friendship.
Love makes you cry when you sleep alone.
Love has more power than any one thing in the world.

Love.
Find it.
Accept it.
Feel it.
Realize it.
All else will fall into place.

-Poem by Edna Lynn Anderson









A Valentine Poem For My Wonderful Friends
(Freda, Wendi, Dave, Kit, Rhonda, Tara, and Kris)

Love is
being happy for the other person
when they are happy
being sad for the person
when they are sad
being together in good times
and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength

Love is
being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth
and never pretending
Love is the source of reality

Love is
an understanding so complete that
you feel as if you are a part
of the other person
accepting the other person
just the way they are
and not trying to change them
to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences
with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth
of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's
needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you
regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is
the
source
of
life

- Poem by Susan Polis Schutz



















To My Dear Sister, Becky

Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they
open their hearts to us.









You come to me like a whisper
In the night
Soft kisses trace my lips
Finger tips caress my skin
And all is aflame
You whisper my name
And the wind carries it above
All I see is our own true
LOVE.









To My Dearest Friend, Mary

MY TREASURE BOX

I hold in my hands
a box of gold
With a secret inside
that no one else knows

The box is priceless,
But it's easy to see,
The treasure inside
Is far more precious to me

Today I share
This treasure with thee,
It is the treasure of friendship,
You've given to me.









Remember this For it is true:

You're very special.
Somebody loves you.

Your name is called
In countless prayers
And that's because
Somebody cares.

Please don't forget
I hold you high
For God loves you
And so do I.









No matter what you feel like - smile
and you will feel better.
No matter what others think - smile
and others will smile back to you.
No matter if there is no reason - smile
and you will find one.
Have you already smiled today?
Someone wants you to smile!









Enjoy my mind....
Only by looking deep into thine self
can you truly realize
where you have been,
where you are going,
and why.

To My Beloved Sons, Jon and Marsh

Love

I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made
of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for the part of me that you bring out
I love you for putting your hand
into my heaped up heart and for passing over
all of the foolish things you can't
help dimly seeing there,
and for drawing out into the light
all of the beautiful belongings
that no one else has looked quite
far enough to find.
I love you because you have
done more than any creed
could have done to make me good
and more than any fate could
have done to make me happy.
You have done it without a touch,
without a word, without a sign.
You have done it by being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.









To My Loving Parents, Marsh and Wilma

Valentine

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love,
my Valentine

All of my life
I have been waiting for
all you give to me
You've opened my eyes
and showed me how to
love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand
times before
But in my dreams I couldn't
love you more
I will give you my heart
until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love,
my Valentine

Written by Jim Brickman, Jack Kugell









Love much. Earth has enough
of bitter in it.
Cast sweets into its cup
whenever you can...
Love on, through darkness;
and believe there is no such thing
which love may not achive.

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~









An Irish Love Poem

A red rose whispers passion,
A white rose breathes of love,
A red rose is a falcon,
A white rose is a dove.
So I send you a pure white rose,
With a flush on its petal tips,
For a love that is purest and sweetest,
Has a kiss of desire upon the lips.









TO MIKE MY LOVE

Together

Never let there be any doubt
In the love I feel for you...
It flows from the depths of my soul
and beyond...
It consumes my every thought
day and night...
It fills me with complete happiness
like I've never had...
There is no longer an ache in my heart...
For the love that I have been longing
for has filled it...
In my heart you have given me
a sense of security...
That I can only feel when I'm
lying in your arms...
There can never be anyone who
can thrill me so much,
With a simple kiss on the cheek or
your fingers through my hair...
In my mind I always knew there was
someone who could warm my heart...
In my heart I knew there would always
be someone I could become a
better person because of...
That someone is now and always has been
You.......
For You and I together are everything that
is honest and true...
Together there will never be anything we can't
dream and turn into reality...
Together we can pick a star from the sky
and shoot for it...
Together there is nothing we can't reach for
and be able to grasp...
Together You and I will forever share
A heart and soul...
We were always meant to be....
Together......
