Illustration reference:
Senior Japanese couple Bon and Pon
To those who mark this special day
In all the long-established ways
A bouquet wrapped in cellophane
A heart-shaped locket on a chain
A box of chocolates, teddy bear
Those things we give to show we care
They’re offered with the best intention
The bonds of love they hope to strengthen
And that is what this day should be
Let’s celebrate affinity!
For lust, for love, for comradeship
For all the things that make hearts skip
All that I ask is don’t forget
When day is done and sun has set
Make sure the morrow starts with cheer
And all the days throughout the year
Are filled with moments when we show
Forever does our ardor grow!
