The Valentine's Heart

by Jessica A. Sommar
(Lee, Massachusettes)

The Valentine's heart sits unanswered
She calls, and waits and waits.
Love is all around her -- hearts and flowers.
Couples swing and sway, smiling.
... The Valentine watches and listens.
Her heart is pure and open.
Her dreams of love and comfort
are before her, walking into her
life. She keeps her eyes on love.
She keeps her faith.
Her arms are as wide as
her future. He is coming,
he is coming, he is coming.
She is ready for love.
