another note before i head out for the night - valentine's. another art form i do really love because they make the receiver feel loved and isn't that all we want in life from our loved ones, friends and family? to be loved... yes i know there's other things too but this is what i want to focus on.
my valentine cards are of various sizes and complexities. sometimes a small card says it all to a friend and to others, a card of many layers and colors and kind words are what hits the spot for them. they all are made with love, intention and great care. hand cut hearts, found words from poets of the past, doilies, gems or buttons. all have a place saying, "Be My Valentine." i will be working on these this weekend for those lucky loved ones in my life that i want to know they are loved and cared for. a little more love to come again...
TO MY VALENTINE...
ReplyDeleteThe modern cliché Valentine's Day poem can be found in the collection of English nursery rhymes Gammer Gurton's Garland (1784):
The rose is red, the violet's blue,
The honey's sweet, and so are you.
Thou art my love and I am thine;
I drew thee to my Valentine:
The lot was cast and then I drew,
And Fortune said it shou'd be you.
