Hi Jan, This is such an amazing write, and unfortunately so true - this day instead of been just about true love has been so cheapened and commercialized. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

G'day Jan … the rose petals can be dried and put into potpourri, and given a Christmas gift but you wouldn't pay for them - it's odd; the build up; the day; then it's back to arguing again - thank you Jan - Lindsay
