all I need on Valentine's Day
Sweetheart, is you very near.
All I'll ever need is you,
You're my life, and soon you'll see
I'll love you forever with all of my heart
Throughout eternity.



The Sweetest Gift
By Glenn

Jewelry loses its luster
Flowers die the next day
Candy just gets eaten
Cards get thrown away

Money just gets wasted
Watches stop after a while
Cars always need fixing
Clothing goes out of style

But you've given me the sweetest gift
That anyone could dream of
The gift that lasts forever
The gift of your precious love

So my dear, remember
And know this to be true:
You've given me so much
Just by being you

A Beautiful Smile, Valentine
By Bob Slater

If I could catch
Your sweetest smile,
Perhaps just every once,
In a short brief while,
Then right here in
The palm, of my hand,
I would hold, a gift
So radiant and grand,
My own little starry
Moonlit night,
A truly spectacular
Most beautiful delight
Now if this thought
Has made you sigh
Or touched your heart
Like a butterfly
Then this is the blessing
Of loving emotion
And I give it to you
With Valentine devotion





Gift of Love
By Irmare Riekie

You came to me
Like an angel from above
Surrounding me
With your precious love
You’ve taught me new things,
Helped me to fly
Showed me the meaning of life
Encouraged me to try
With you I can always be myself
And completely feel at ease
An awful day,
You quickly turn into a feast
Thank you so much,
for giving to me
This wonderful gift;
the gift of love.

Valentine Gifts
By Tommi Fratto

We don’t need chocolate candy
To make our romance sweet;
‘Tis the smiles we can’t contain
At the moments when we meet.

Rose petals moist and fragile
Look quite lovely in a vase;
Your lips are even softer
As they dance across my face.

Although some wish for diamonds
And find jewelry highly prized,
Stones that sparkle can’t compare
To the laughter in your eyes.

A dinner quite expensive,
A French meal or Japanese?
We’ll be happy just to share
A great burger topped with cheese.

This year for Valentine’s Day
I’ll need nothing you can buy.
Arms that hug, a gentle kiss
Will be perfect from my guy.

Nothing But My Love
By Christine D’Ambrosio

It's Valentines again my love
And I'm feeling kinda blue
I don't know what to give this time
To express in someway new

All the love still burning inside
Thankful for the joy you've brought
But searching for that perfect gift
Has me feeling quite distraught!

Roses now seem ordinary
Candy and stuffed teddy bears
Expressions used, the verse, the rhyme
To let you know I care

But I can't seem to make a choice
Nothing so far seems to do
I've changed my mind - a million times
Oh darn! I give! It's just no use

Though desperate for another way
To show you're still the one for me
Somehow I know now why they say
The best things in life are free!

A Gift of Love
By Carla Marie

For Valentine’s Day
I don't need candy,
You are my sweet.

I don't need Champagne;
Your kiss is like wine.

I don't need roses,
You are my flower.

I don't need diamonds;
You're a priceless gem.

I don't need gold around my neck,
To be wrapped tightly, in your arms.

I don't need you to be present,
To know you are here with me.

If you must give me anything,
This Valentine's Day,
Gift wrap your love,
And send it to my heart.
That's all I've ever wanted,
From the beginning,
From the very start.

Bank On My Love, Valentine
By Bob Slater

Bank statement sent to my Valentine,
With interest that they should truly heed,
Carried on the wings of an angel,
With deftness, and lightning speed.

Valentine, you are truly, fabulously rich,
With my love, beyond any measure,
My heart’s very bank, is holding within,
Stored love, for you, just like treasure.

Love’s interest is much higher today,
Than it was, just the prior day before,
And I know it will increase tomorrow,
And grow steadily, more and more.

Your bank account of my heart, is in credit,
And at any time, you can surely secure,
Endless amounts of treasured love,
Paid always in full, that's for sure.

Valentine, you can always bank on my love,
It’s both credit and interest free,
Twenty
