♥️ Happy Valentine's Day, 2023.
Love is in the air--at home,
and everywhere for the braves
who dare to love and care.
Fate seals their faith for love sings
and stings so you laugh and cry
with and at this euphoric phenomenon
that gives humans the highest bliss
and ardor tested hearts can testify.
Food usually seals the deal whether for two or with family and friends. Food is the centralizer that delights butterfly hearts and paces conversations whether dinners, brunches or exotic beverages even when a diamond is MIA. 🌹
