Ode to a Valentine's Gift
Oh morsel sweet, of deepest brown,With creamy white inside,
I long to press my lips to you,
I hold you with such pride!
Oh my! I think that I do feel
The sting of Cupid's dart....
My Valentine has given me
A luscious CHOCOLATE HEART!

Ode to a Belgian Valentine
Oh tender prisms soft and sweetDelectable and fine to eat
Your beauty rich beyond compare
Is such a treat I'll never share -
Oh how I crave your gentleness
So silky smooth, your lusciousness,
Oh fill me with your dreams divine,
A Belgian heart, my Valentine.

You made me smile, you made me laugh
You were my valentine year after year
Chocolates and roses you bring to me
Sweet little kisses sent for me
Flowers and candy chocolate galore!
Little hearts with candy words
You looked at me and I fell for you
My heart skipped beats it was you I adore
But alas the alarm went off and you disappeared
For you were my dream my fantasy…

The day of St Valentine's
When the feeling of love fills the air
A time when you love tells you
Your his love ever so true
Your heart skips a beat or may-be even two
Just one small gift to say I love you
The day of St Valentine's
Touches the hearts and souls
Of everyone, young and old
