Today I think of love

amidst red and pink flowers

candy-grams

and romantic gestures 

Today I think of those who feel unlovable,

shunned 

and alone.

and those whose homes are not so happy

circumstances grim.

Today I can be the hope

the love

the warm smile.

Today I think of love 

that costs nothing

that means everything

Today I don’t think of love; I show it.
