54 A Valentine fer Yew
Yeah, well,
It's the middle o' Feb'ry an so it's around that toime when we fink special o'
love an' all that mushy kind o' stuff. Yew c'n find love all around, if'n yew look
real good. There are some wot reckon that the birds get married on 14 Feb'ry,
an' p'raps that ain't wrong, though personally, when Oi look outta the winder
at the snow, Oi reckon that's fer the birds. Any'ow, wot is certain is that around
now they get a-billin' an' a-cooin', an' all of a sudden it's Easter, wiv all
them eggs, so they musta got married sometime before, an' why not in Feb'ry?
Any'ow, when
yew look around, yew c'n see ovver kinds o' love loike all them parents wot
love their children, even when the kids don't really deserve it. An' then there's
all that stuff in books an' at the cinema. But that's only second'and love, wot
ain't so valuable as the genuine first'and article. Still an' all, it gives yew
the idea, 'cos yew c'n feel it.
Some people
only love once, wot is a bit of a pity, unless it were an on-goin' everlastin' love
sorta fing. An' then there are ovvers wot can't 'elp themselves fallin' in love
ev'ry five minutes. That's a pity too, 'cos their love gets kinda diluted; if'n
yew see wot Oi mean. Unless, that is, it's a kinda all-envelopin' altruistic sort
o' love, an' that's real top super.
If'n yew wanta
find love, all yew gotta do is make a start. The best place ter start is right
there where yew are, 'cos yew c'n love yerself, an' from that beginnin', if'n
yew do it roight, it c'n kinda spread around ter lots of ovvers; that is, if'n
yew open up yer 'eart an' give ter them wot yew meet. If yew show yer love ter
them, then they'll love you roight back, an' that's real super too. It ain't
real 'ard ter do; all yew gotta do is start-off an' give it a go…
Quite often
the world seems sorta sad an' lonely, but if'n yew give it a smile, even jus' a
little'n, then people will smile back at yew. Well, mostly they will, if yer
smile is fer them an' not only fer yerself. All yew gotta do is try it, an'
yew'll see.
Cripes, we're
all in this tergevver, so smile, love a little. Write that letter; use yer
'phone; say 'allo. It's St Valentine…
