Cookie Jar Full of Memories

I’ve been inspired by a friend who gave his wife a COOKIE

JAR FULL OF MEMORIES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY.

On slips of paper he wrote “Do you remember…?” followed by some of the couple’s most wonderful moments. I’m shopping for a cookie jar and I’m writing a brief poem with accompanying memories which are special to my wife and me:

Do We Have Some

CONNEE, MY VALENTINE FOR THE 40TH TIME,

Connee, my Valentine, remember when you attended my Sunday school class with Francis?

As delightful now as when we were young. We’ve given and received Valentines many, Love expressed through candy, cards, and gifts. Ensuring that our 40th Valentine’s Day is extra special I’ve searched and searched for a suitable way To say “I love you” in memorable fashion; And a friend gave me inspiration. Receive this cookie jar, Valentine mine, With cookies, memories, and love inside. Read each memory prompt inside and May you feel the warmth and fire of my Valentine’s love.
