ode to valentines day

Valentines day is such a wonderful holiday, I think it is important (and fun!) to set apart a day to celebrate the love and relationships within our lives.
This is my little ode to Valentines day... my favourite passages of life dedicated to love
Love Songs - "Feels Like Home" Chantal Kreviazuk and "Forever" Jesse (Full House)
Romantic Movie - Gone With The Wind
Bible Passage on Love - "And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." - Ephesians 3: 17-19
Love Poem - Sonnet CXVI by William Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love,
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
Oh, no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests.. and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love is not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out.. even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
