Treat Yourself
Treat yourself like no else will able to,
Because no one knows you like you do,
Love starts with the self as you might’ve guessed,
The only one that matters first…is you.
Valentine’s Day has become a consumer’s frenzy,
It’s a way to prove to someone you care,
But if you’re alone on this one occasion,
Treat yourself with imaginative flair.
Get a haircut, a shave then go out friends,
I’m sure your squad would like to hang out,
Get yourself a delicious steak with fries,
Then have a nice night out on the town.
Stop by the mall and if you see something you like,
Don’t be afraid to splurge on what brings you joy,
Let your guard down you’ve worked really hard,
Don’t worry about being so modest or coy.
Oh and boys, don’t charge it all to my credit card.

LOL! Was not expecting that end, but fully agree with the sentiment! I view Valentine's Day as Love Day ( not that every day isn't ). I take the time to share little treats and with friends and family. And particularly those I know are feeling lonely.
Very nice, Wally. And very funny too!

Thank you.
Ever since my boys were babies, my wife and I took them out to dinner with us on Valentine's Days. As they get older, I'm sure they'll have fond memories.
