Valentine, a time to romance,
Joining hands — sing and dance,
Roses, chocolates, diamonds glow,
Love has filled the air, I know.

“Love” is essence of our living,
Connects the soul beyond misgiving,
Friendship pledges, to be together,
Lasting love through every weather.

Let’s find “NEWER” ways to touch today,
Some stranger who is sad & grey,
Send gift of “love” from source unknown,
Disheartened spirit to be reborn.

The gifts of wealth are great indeed,
But there is so much more they need,
A silent blessing, love and prayer,
Soothing spirit beyond repair.

When gifts are sent to friends and sons
Strangers too, will be loved ones
In cosmos, Valentine will spread
To prove Chivalry is not yet dead

When blessings are thus spread around
“HIS infinite Glory” peace abound
In instant pain &suffering ends
Creates a bond of cosmic friends

Darkness of hate is feeble indeed
Dividing each one thru emotional greed
“Mine and yours” is false perception
Color, religion and power Deception

Love sheds away the gloom of night
One ray announces the world is bright
The light inside your “being” is strong
Enlighten mankind in Valentine song

Let’s join & pledge new tradition today
When we are lonely ,sad and grey
Our “ global blessings” we help spread out
Will comfort us back without a doubt.

Valentine is filled with Romance
Forget the sorrows sing and dance
But keep in mind to spread the cheer
To unknown friends in bigger sphere.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!
