Valentine's Day

I used to say Valentine's Day was just another Hallmark holiday. I used to think it was meant for just lovers, or family members, maybe close friends…

But lately, my thoughts about Valentine's Day have changed. It is about remembering how love can move mountains; that even a smile and warm hello to a stranger can change the course of his/her day; that a knowing touch and listening ear can ease a tense situation; that loving rather than judging, fearing, loathing, or despising is better for our overall health and provides us with self-love. 

I came across three poems I want to share on this Valentine's Day that represent love. I hope you find them inspiring and that you are moved to share them with others, and walk in your days with a loving heart.

This first one I came upon online and I really like the message 
of loving all the little and hidden parts of someone
These last two are by my favorite poet Mary Oliver
