I wander around the store doing my weekly shopping

Watching the men picking out that perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

It may be candy, flowers, a card, a stuffed animal

Or combination of all four.

Those women do not know how lucky they are

To have such loving men in their lives

That take the time to show them they are loved

My heart aches and I want to cry

As I have no one to shower me

With love and gifts on this Valentine’s Day.

I do not ask for much,

Just for someone to show me that I am special and loved

On Valentine’s Day.
