In the grocery store line
he says,
hey.. I’m the one who reminded you to get your dark chocolate Oreos,
so… that’s your valentines day
and I say to him… Ah romance! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today you\u2019ve been told
is the day
for love
in the case that you may be a last minute shopper
like me
let me tell you where to find it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is in the rising of the morning sun
bearing just enough light to make most everything
shine
in the first few minutes of quiet
where you can just sit
and be
still
in a coffee cup that refills, almost before you know
you’re even ready
in a hug that wraps you tight
and might possibly squeeze a little bit
of your stuffing
out
in the shake of your hand, as we have just met
and the suddenness of a smile
that makes you
blush
in the laughter of a friend
who gladly recognizes when your heart
has been bared
in small acts of kindness
and
instant connection
in I love you\u2019s and Thank you\u2019s and I hope you are
well\u2019s
it\u2019s in I need you\u2019s, and I hear you\u2019s and I know
where you\u2019ve been
it\u2019s in hopefuls and heart-fulls and
kind inspiration
it\u2019s in gracious-ness and greatness and
too, it’s in the grand<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it\u2019s in the sacred and the simple and
the very
sincere<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it is in you to give
it is in you,
to receive
(but here’s the real secret)
it is already…
in You<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it is all of this
and a small box
of chocolates<\/p>\n\n\n\n
don’t let anyone sell you otherwise \u2665<\/p>\n\n\n\n
