With Valentine’s Day coming up, you may be missing some of the nice, polished words that your best friend longs to hear. Obviously, if you are depending on Hallmark to write it for you, you are a dead man.
However, there are lessons from history that just might help you be the smooth guy you always wanted to be.
Here are a few of the many pearls left to us from the time of the Pharaohs:
“To hear your voice is pomegranate wine to me,
I draw life from hearing it.
Could I see you in every glance,
It would be better for me
Than to eat or drink.”
————–
“Be you but in health and strength,
Then the nearness of your countenance
Sheds delight, by reason of your well-being,
Over a heart, which seeks you with longing.”
—————
“Your hand in my hand,
My soul inspired
My heart in bliss,
Because we go together.”

The last poem is my obvious favorite, as Laura and I walk everyday hand-in-hand … a simple but necessary pleasure.
Happy Valentines Day ( only 11 days from today)
