With Valentine’s Day just a couple of weeks away, I’m beginning to see hearts in shop windows and a lot more red and pink about.  Of course there are those who do their best  to ignore the hearts and flowers and breathe a sigh of relief when we reach the second half of February.  On the other hand, many take Valentine’s Day as an opportunity (or maybe a reminder?) to tell those we love how much we care.  But, what to do if words don’t come easily?  Borrow from those with a gift for poetry and romance. 

Here’s a few messages that could make a Valentine’s Day gift even more special.

Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt that I love.

                        –William Shakespeare

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength,
While loving someone deeply gives you courage.

                       –Lao Tzu

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

                      –Franklin P. Jones

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

                         –Ingrid Bergman

If you are a natural romantic with a gift for words and poetry, you can write your own message (or series of messages).  Have them each wrapped inside a rich fudge brownie to be discovered with each delicious treat.
