Whispers of the Heart

February fourteenth, the day of hearts

But for me, it's been a day of false starts

Twenty-eight years now, and still no romantic bliss

But I won't let that fill my heart with emptiness

I've learned to be patient, to wait for the right time

To keep my heart open and my spirit in prime

To believe that one day, I'll find love divine

And that love will be worth the wait and the climb

Until then, I'll cherish the love of family and friends

And the beauty of the world that surrounds and transcends

I'll fill my life with laughter, adventure, and fun

So today, on my special day of birth

I'll celebrate my life and all its worth

Grateful for the love that's already in my life

And hopeful for the love that's yet to arrive.

And embrace the joy of being single, until my time has come
