Valentines for Fools

When walking with a fragile heart

just looking for a friend

Lips to kiss a hand to hold

Forever till the end

Holding on to memories

Shining broken glass

Do we see the future

Or do we see the past

Sometimes it’s just a question

One must ask oneself

Is love another story

Another book upon the shelf

Faith around the corner

Like candy you can steal

Like a story from a movie

Maybe fiction maybe real

Does love become a whisper

spoken softly in the mind

A song you sing to angels

If lucky you can find

Love is like a river

Finding where it needs to run

It cuts a path from high above

From where it first begun

It searches for the ocean

From the mountains naturally

Like the river that is you

Has found its way to me

Your words at times compassion

At times confuse my heart

But I know there’s always love

It’s been there from the start

Like a favorite pair of blue-jeans

Look better when they’re worn

I wear your smiles around me

Even better when they’re torn

It’s like we have a secret

That only you and I can know

There’s magic in the broken glass

In colors that they show

Through the laughter through the pain

Skies of thunder skies of blue

When you see a rainbow

Know that’s how I see you

Broken glass becomes the mirror

And I wonder if you see

I wonder if you really know

What you truly mean to me

I sing for life I sing for love

It’s all that I can do

Valentines can be for fools

But not for me or you
