My Only Valentine

During the time of year when flowers are everywhere

When sentiments and perfume pervade the atmosphere

The bouquet that I’ll make from flowers fair and fine

Will be sent to you my darling; my only Valentine.

My flowers are not the usual, they are unique and rare

All delicately gathered in each season of the year

And kept with special care for the very special time

When lovers send their bouquet to their only Valentine.

Each rose bud represents my warmth and compliments

And my love for you my darling is transported in their scent

My roses are not fakes, they are naturally designed

A gift from me and nature to my only Valentine.

The bouquet that will reach you must outlive its natural time

For when the roses fade they should be at full bloom in your mind

They are more than just a gift; a sort of potent sign

Sent by a special Lover to his only Valentine.

Each bouquet that I’ll send you in years that are to come

Must be added to those before to make a glorious sum

They will change their long held value for one that’s

more sublime

Just the way my love will grow for my only Valentine.
