Happy Valentines Day

I remember when I was a child.
Valentines Day was a day of being nervous and anxious.
Would I get any Valentines? Who would I give to?
Should I sign this one? Maybe I should'nt give it to him?
Ohhhhh No..... HERE HE COMES!
Will he drop it into my box I painstakingly decorated
so it would stand out among all the others??
Sometimes, I got the one I wanted... sometimes... I didn't.
I learned to dread Valentines Day!

Eventually ... as I grew older, it became just another day to me.
Now again, my heart starts to pitter - patter.
My breath becomes shallow. I wait with anticipation!
Will I get the Valentine I'm looking for this year??
