Valentine’s Day, With You

Valentine’s Day arrives in red and light,

But all it really brings is you.

The world writes love in roses and skies,

I read it best in what we do.

Your smile turns ordinary hours

Into something soft and true.

No crowded room, no grand parade

Could love me half the way you do.

So let the candles burn their glow,

Let hearts hang bright in every way—

My favorite place, my sweetest time,

Is simply us on Valentine’s Day.
