This poem makes me think. I can't say that I put much thought into the 14th anymore. I'm happy for others, I guess... Again, I simply don't think about it often. Valentines day is just another day to me but I did love celebrating it when I was younger. I also DO have to admit that the thought of it is fun. It used to just bother me though.. watching everyone else so happy, etc. In all honesty, I probably would love celebrating it if I had someone to celebrate it with. I figured it was a waste of my time to think about and just stopped thinking about it. I'd rather think about life, just be happy and live. I think that it's great for you to get your feelings out by writing. I wish that more people did that. Society seems to thrive off of the sadness of others. It's rather odd to me...

Being one of those whose heart has become "not so much trimmed with lace

as frayed around the edges", I LOVE THIS POEM! Thank you so much & Happy Ash Wednesday.
