True Love by Patricia Cole
Valentine?s Day comes round every year
With chocolates and flowers for partners so dear
Buy a card, buy some flowers but they?re ever so dear
We must spend the money our loves to endear
What happened to old fashioned love so sincere
No money was spent our love to revere
But little things done any time of the year
Reminded our loves it was not a veneer
So true love is not making smile the cashier
But smiling when life is so very austere
Scratch his back, rub her shoulders it may not appear
Very glamorous to you, but listen see here
The love that you share has to last year to year
Not only a day when shops profiteer
So valentine?s day?s every day, make it clear
By the little things daily to keep your love near
