If Everyday Were Valentines Day

Sometimes the hype of Valentines Day makes some people feel down and out. Say you don't get the roses or the candy you were expecting, or what if your husband even forgot that today was "love" day? Better yet, do you hate Valentines Day because of lost love? Well, there is someone who never forgets you, in fact, He is the ultimate Valentine! This poem is just about that person. Chad preached a sermon yesterday about the Crazy Love of God, and with that in mind, I have written this poem. It's about a God who loves you and never forgets about you. All because of Him, we can have a day like Valentines everyday of our lives!

If Everyday Were Valentines Day

by: Amanda Sanders King

If everyday were Valentines Day,

Chocolate and flowers would never go away.

People would give, cherish and love

Instead of fight, argue, push and shove.

Children would have happiness in their hearts

For parents would never divorce or depart.

Unfortunately, everyday isn’t Valentines Day

Moms and Dads do go away.

Marriages split and spouses die

To leave those behind to ask why.

This day leaves some empty and all alone

So they sit in a bar or drink at home.

Valentines Day isn’t all that it’s made to be,

But there are two days that bring true love, you see.

December and April is where we find

Love that is so pure and kind.

The sweetness of an innocent child,

And the death of a savior lowly and mild.

Easter and Christmas teaches us the power

Of a love higher than the highest tower.

For Christ came to save us from sin

That we might be born once again.

Through his death he showed us his love,

And he gives us a home so far up above.

By belief in his resurrection we are saved.

This we are grateful and have proclaimed!

That Jesus is far above any St. Valentine,

And I am so glad that He is mine.

So if you’re down and out this day,

You have someone that loves you anyway.

No matter what you’ve done in your life,

Jesus came as the ultimate sacrifice.

Trust in Him with all your heart,.

And from you He will never depart

From this day forward you can always say,

That everyday is truly a Valentine Day!
