PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Don't bother buying
me a Hallmark
card this year.

Don't bother buying
me a box
of assorted chocolates.

Don't bother buying
me a pretty
piece of jewelry.

Don't bother buying
me fancy perfumes
to spray on.

Don't bother buying
me elegant clothing
to strut in.

Don't bother buying  
me a lavish
dinner at a restaurant.

Don't bother buying
me any roses
that will wither.

Don't bother buying
me a bottle
of special champagne.

Don't bother buying
me materialistic presents
from selected stores.

Take the time
to show me
you truly care.

Take the time
to open doors
for me.

Take the time
to read me
something you wrote.

Take the time
to spend time
with me.

Take the time
to share your
dreams with me.

Take the time
to tell me
about your day.

Take the time
to smile and
laugh with me.

Take the time
to walk with
me holding hands.

Take the time
to be affectionate
and show compassion.

Take the time
to give me
all your love.
