The Perfect Valentines Gift

A favourite poem of mine is from Robbie Burns. It begins:

"O, my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June. "

And the melody of the poem and the sweet rhyming and the tender words all combine to make my heart melt. Yes, I'm pure romantic through and through. Burns talks about the music of love, and that he'll love her until the seas run dry...what girl wouldn't melt?

So...consider a little poetry when putting together your Valentine's card this year.

So I was thinking about Valentine's Day and remembering a Valentine's card that once was mine. It had an enormous bulldog on the front cover. And boy, was he ugly. And, of course, the verse inside said:

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
The bulldog next door
Reminds me of you

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't from my sweetheart. I was 6. Boys can be awful, can't they?

But Valentine's Day is all about their romantic side. I'm sure it's in there somewhere. ;)

Whatever perfect gift you end up getting for your Valentine, there is one thing that must accompany it... A Valentine's Card.
