After The Chocolate
After the chocolate is unwrapped and finished;
after the dinner is done.
After the card is read and put away in a drawer
or left in a pile on the table.
After the evening is past with it’s artificial romance
out of hallmark and a hundred different ads,
there is this:
dedication and delight
in the one you love,
and that is surely, enough.

I hope my readers have a joyful valentine’s day.

I'm “Like”ing this one!
Beautiful. Hope you and yours had a lovely V-Day. x
Great stuff, I'm following your two blogs. I also have two (how do we find the time?) one on writing and one on psychology 🙂
Christine and Tess, thank you both.
Neezes – Thanks. I have been following yours as well. I went for the writing blog, but have found the other one as, if not more, interesting.
