For the Forlorn on Valentine’s Day

Paper hearts, and roses red,
for some, the day is filled with dread.
Some spend the day with their “only.”
Some merely spend the day lonely.
Some buy flowers for each other.
Some only buy them for their mother.
For those whose love has only grown,
please, remember those who are alone.

Paula Frew
Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.
