Valentine’s Day, 2011 –

by | Feb 14, 2011 | Martina McBride, Valentine's Day | 3 comments

I don’t want to know how much you are loved, I want to know how much you love others.
I don’t want to know how many Valentine’s Day cards you got, I want to know how many you gave out.
I don’t want to know how long you have waited for love. I want to know who you decided to love today.
I don’t want to know how big your diamond is.  I want to know how big your heart is.
I don’t want to know how much joy you have, I want to know how your joy touched others.
I want to know, I need to know, that our house, our common house of love, is big enough for all the pain in the world.  Make it so today.
