I am of the tribe who look forward to St. Valentine’s Day every year. It is such a brilliant day when we can tell anyone that we love them and we can let them know how much we love to love them. I also love to make Valentine cards each year… so many Valentines, the post office should make a commemorative stamp for me. I would love that. I would also love it if you sent me a Valentine next year.
90 million years ago
They thundered through the land
Those dinosaurs had love to show
That’s where it all began.
From single cell to behemoth,
It took some doing that,
Through every step their love they troth
And new life was begat.
But prehistoric love was doomed,
They didn’t see it coming
And crossed stars crashed disaster loomed,
The end had no outrunning.
So they are gone, they had their time
Our world has life anew
But every knowing Valentine
Has lived for love that’s true.
