Quotes about Love

Valentine’s Day Poems

I love you with all my heart
Right from the very start.

Our love grows stronger every day
With everything you do and say.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
Our love is here to stay.
– Amy E. Nelson (For My Husband)

In a lifetime love is a treasure
And life with you my dear is always such a pleasure
You are so thoughtful each and every day
I never thought life could ever be this way.

So on this Valentines day I do express
You are the best, much better than all the rest.
Thank you my dear for all the things you do
My heart is sincere when I say I love you.
– Catherine Pulsifer (Love Is A Treasure)

Roses are red and violets are blue,
I’ve never been more in love with you!
Happy Valentine’s Day, My Love!

You are my valentine; you bring me pleasure.
With all my love you could not measure,
So on this day I shall always treasure.
Happy Valentine’s for ever and ever.
– Mr G Hughes (A Little Valentine Poem)

On Valentine’s Day we think of those
Who make our lives worthwhile,
Those gracious, friendly people who
We think of with a smile.

I am fortunate to know you,
That’s why I want to say,
To a rare and special person:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
– Joanna Fuchs (Valentine Smile)

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I love donuts,
As much as I love you.

You’re the beauty in the sunrise,
The soft warmth shining in the trees.
Joyful lightness that’s in your eyes,
The slightest tingling from the breeze.
– Jennifer D. Etheridge (You’re My Everything)

Rose are red,
Violets are blue,
Vodka costs less,
Than a dinner for two.

I love you for a lifetime,
Not only for a day.
I love you for who you are,
Not what you do or say.
– Belinda Galea (Be My Valentine Forever)

Roses are red, are my usual beginnings,
But for this card, that’s not good enough.
Today is the day I must step it up,
Only honesty and no fluff.

On this day I must tell you all that I can,
About you and I, and our love.
I truly believe we were meant to be,
We fit together like a hand and glove.

Our touch is electric, exciting and new,
A surprise each and every day.
There are not many things that I know in this world,
But I know I don’t want you far away.

So stay here with me while we ponder this moment,
And treasure this beautiful love.
Never before have I felt like this,
So beautiful and innocent – like a dove.
– Julie Hebert

On Valentine’s Day, I think about
The people who are dear,
How much they add to life’s delight
Whenever they are near.

You’ve always been a total joy,
Such pleasant company,
I very much appreciate
Our compatibility!
– Joanna Fuchs (Compatible Valentine)
