Sir Valentine would of shed tears
to learn of the outcome of his legacy,
One day a year to dedicate to the one you love?
To each and every one of you,
I love you -whole and without hesitation,
friends and lovers,
present and future tense,
I am as I have always been,
without judgement and expectations,
My love goes beyond just a temporary gesture and embrace,
it is and always will be to everyman/woman/child
every dish that I prepare and offer,
every fruit that I feed you,
they come bearing my hopes and dreams
that love goes beyond just one instance,
so go out into the world and know you are not forgotten
there is a home here waiting even if it is for a moment,
and I will nourish your body, mind and soul.
