A Day for Celebrating Love


On this day set aside 
For celebrating love, 

May you breathe in the beauty of your beloved
And then speak her soul back to her.

May you know the warmth
Of having been loved by another.

On this day set aside
For celebrating love,

May the song that turned you head in your youth
Herald a new joy in your heart.

May you remember that Love embraced your being
On the day you came into consciousness.
