“VALENTINE”
May 22, 2005
By: Lisa Velez
WHY DO WE NEED A SPECIAL TIME
A THANKSGIVING OR VALENTINE
TO SHARE THE LOVE WE HOLD INSIDE
WHY DO WE NEED A CERTAIN PLACE
A FOOLISH MADE UP HOLIDAY
TO BE THE TIME FOR WHICH WE WAIT?
A FUNNY THING, THE HUMAN MIND
SUCH A SENSE OF WORTHLESS PRIDE
KEEPING US FROM TREASURED TIME
WHY DO WE LONG FOR MOTHER’S DAY
FOR CHRISTMAS OR SOME DAY WE MADE
TO TREAT SOMEONE A DIFFERENT WAY
LOVE IS NOT A SELDOM THING
AN “I’M TOO BUSY” WAIT AND SEE
LIFE’S TOO HECTIC AND UNKIND
TO NOTICE WHAT IS WRONG AND RIGHT
AND LIFE’S TOO BEAUTIFUL A GIFT
TO RUN AROUND HERE WASTING IT
SO LET US WALK AROUND AND SAY
“I LOVE YOU” EACH AND EVERY DAY
FOR LOVE AND TIME ARE YOURS AND MINE
NOT A ONEDAY VALENTINE
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
