Today and Tomorrow
melted hershey kisses
transfer palms
because he likes the
way she swings
on chilly playground days.
she steals his scissors
then cuts a heart of pink
crudely but cutely
and in black crayola
scrawls
"you are my friend
and i'll love you
today and tomorrow."
the crumpled pink promise
sends him to sleep each night,
for he knows that with each today she's loved him
comes a tomorrow left to love.

Happy Valentine's Day Lovely Lucy.
you create such a rich image of hope and satisfying love. Everyone should be so lucky to have been loved today, and know they'll be loved tomorrow too. The day after that?.... Nothing is forever, but it's awfully great right now.
I loved this. In ways I can't describe, it touched me.

Almost makes me think I shouldn't hate the holiday.
