The best things in life
can never be kept;
They must be given away.
A Smile, A Kiss and Love.

Time is too slow for those who wait

Too Swift for those who fear,

Too long for those who grieve,

Too short for those who rejoice.

BUT, for those who Love….Time is Eternal!

the following submitted by Jo

Your smile is brilliant and dazzling,
Your teeth are so perfectly white,
Do you use a particular toothpaste?
Do you brush them morning and night?
For they light up the room when you laugh,
You smile and my heart just soars
For your teeth are so brilliant and dazzling
But there's a rumor they're not really yours.
(David Axton)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
I made this card
Just for you
It's not the neatest,
It wouldn't pass a test
But it's made with love-
That makes it the best

On Valentine’s Day, when I think of the people
I care about and value, you are at the top of the list.
Like a rainbow glistening through the rain,
like a glowing green spring after a cold gray winter,
you are a joy and a delight.
Like a good book, a cozy fire,
or a cup of cocoa (with marshmallows),
you are a comfort to me.
I appreciate you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Roses are red; daisies are white;
Valentine, you make every day a delight.
Violets are blue; daffodils are yellow;
Valentine, you make my heart jiggle like Jello!

On Valentine's Day we think of those
Who make our lives worthwhile,
Those gracious, friendly people who
We think of with a smile.
I am fortunate to know you,
That's why I want to say
To a rare and special person
Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine treasures are people who
have often crossed your mind,
family, friends and others, too,
who in your life have shined
the warmth of love or a spark of light
that makes you remember them;
no matter how long since you’ve actually met,
each one is a luminous gem,
who gleams and glows in your memory,
bringing special pleasures,
and that’s why this Valentine comes to you:
You’re one of those sparkling treasures!

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Carnations are Sweet
And so are you.

And so are they
That send you this
And when we meet
We'll have a kiss.
....................................................

My love is like a cabbage
Divided into two,
The leaves I give to others,
The heart I give to you.

We think about those matchless people who
Give us extra meaning to our lives--
That\'s what all of you do for us; and

Things wouldn’t be the same;
Life wouldn’t be as colorful;
It would be a duller game.

..................................
Until the end
They're more than special
They're your bestest friends.
They're the ones you can go to
When you're in despair
The ones that will help you
Even when you got gum in your hair!

They're the ones who'll laugh
And go laughing with you all through the night
The ones who'll help you
Help you with all their might

To have a good friend
You have to be one
So be nice to one another
So you can be friends forever
And that's how to be the best friend you can be.

.............................

The circle of our friendship Is one that never ends
Made of the finest substance It will never tarnish or bend
It links together memories Reminiscing days gone by
It has seen its share of heartaches It bears the mark of tears we've cried
It's been showered with our laughter Polished with our smiles
It gleams with constant remembrance Even if it's been awhile
It shines through all the thunderstorms If we're weak, it carries on
It smooths away the heartbreak Of loved ones come and gone
Our circle is unbroken It stands strong, and proud, and true
It will forever always connect us The circle of me and you
