Past Valentines

Today raise a toast To the past valentines' ghosts In your heart still they thrive Now somebody's mother, somebody's wives Can you recollect all their names? The ones with whom you played love games Do you in life's race pause a while Remember a face or a fleeting smile Or you consider your actions were silly Now that you have your own family Maybe they have carved a place in your heart Times fly away but memories don't depart. Today in honour of them raise a toast or two Don't feign surprise and say, 'Margarita, who? '
