Yes I know it's Valentine's Day tomorrow but sometimes the seemingly small gestures mean more than anything that money can buy.

Love Tokens

Some things in life are precious
And you simply cannot buy
A word, a deed, a feeling
A glance from a lover’s eye

Some words cannot be spoken
Some words cannot be said
They simply stay forever
Locked deep inside your head

My love gave me a token
It didn’t need a speech
In my hand he placed a treasure
A pebble from the beach

That simple gift said volumes
Though not a word was spoken
You see that little pebble
It was a true love token
