A Valentine's Day Without?

There may not be a rose,

But the Rose of Sharon was given to you.

There may not be Latin romance,

But He walked the Via Dolorosa for you.

There may not be a hug,

But He outstretched His arms for you.

The nails did not hold Him to the cross.

It was His love for me and for you.

There may not be a beautiful sunset,

But He showed the Son Rise to you.

Valentine's Day may not be many things,

But remember, Jesus loves you.
