Valentine's Day Exchange Poem by Ima Ryma

A single red rose given of
Feelings felt on Valentine's Day.
A simple gift for teenage love,
He offers her in fine display.
Dressed up for the occasion, he
Is perhaps a bit nervous, and
Is apprehensive whether she
Will take the rose held in his hand.
These awkward moments for the young
In the during of give and take,
Uncertain in gesture and tongue,
Will his heart be happy or ache?

She takes the rose he offers her
And smiles, and he is glad for sure.
