#LoveLindorSA When i was down and i seemed like a write-off u kept me…
When life erupted like a venomous volcano u kept me…..
When winds blew like a hurricane u kept me…
Trials came like that of a death row case u kept me…
At my best u kept me…
Through it all u kept me…
Now its my turn to celebrate you, your life, your love, your patience, your endurance!
I would love to keep you all my life, at times i don’t feel worthy having you…but your love has kept me so long that i can never imagine being without you. Let me keep you to eternity that even when my last breath fades away like a butterfly out of its cocoon i will rest assured knowing that far or near u will forever keep me in your secret pavilion.
Be my valentine forever, celebrate our love that is waxed together…
Keep me as I have kept u.
Thank you for 19 amazing years,
you have stuck with me through smiles and tears.
You still make my heart skip a beat,
you are my baby sweet.
Love you today, tomorrow and always.
Awww…that’s my husband’s and my tagline as well… TTA….Today, tomorrow, always….
Roses are red
Violets are blue
21 years, 3 kids later
Our love still is true <3
Would love to win this…my husband and I are obsessed with Lindt….almost as much as we are obsessed with each other 🙂
My Heart is something that gives me life
My Heart feeds and nurtures as if it were my wife
My Heart is kind and loving down to the last drop
My Heart keeps me going not wanting to stop
My Heart has a pulse to it unlike anything in this universe
My Heart gives me strength in the hardest traverse
My Heart gives me structure in such an unstructured place
My Heart beats at an insurmountable pace
My Heart bonds me together so that nothing could tear it apart
My Heart is something I loved right from the start
You Yes!!!! You. Are My Heart 🙂 🙂 🙂
U have captured my heart
U have deepely touched my Soul…
We belong in each other’s armz…
Because we are sooo good together…
Love lives here…..
(I memorised this poem from a card written to me by my sweet husband 10 years ago)
Now that you are here
I have nothing to fear
With you is where I belong
I know it, I feel it so strong
Nothing has been more clear
That it is your love I hold so dear
Deep inside is the cry of my heart
I never ever want us to part
I am a hopeless, romantic man
Doing the best he can
To show you for sure
That my love for you is pure
I will do whatever it takes
I don’t care about the stakes
You and only you I want
A prayer I know God will grant
To my daugter, I love you so
You are so special, I hope you know
Love shines through you for all to see
I’m in awe that you’re part of me
You are the one my heart long for,
You my beginning and mt end.
will love you forever…
How would I live without you
I don’t want to find out
27 years with my boo
Has given me so much to shout about
The good times and bad
The funny and sad
Makes me closer to you
Roses are red violets are blue
Where would I be without you ❤️
How would I live without you

I’m not perfect but you love me, when there is nobody to hear me scream or cry, I still have you, because only you can love me skinny or over weight, long hair or short, you taught me to love myself.We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to love a imperfect person perfectly..

Single I am but alone I’m not
For two crazy kids I have got
There are hugs and kisses everyday
With a extra treat on valentine day
Roses are red,
Love writing ain’t easy,
That’s why this poem
Has turned out so cheesy.
This poem is for my daughter Zoe. I have shared this giveaway on Twitter (@flutterbymegs). Fingers crossed.
Roses are red, violets are blue, you are truly amazing from the earth to the moon
17 years later, but I knew from the start
That you would always have my heart
This Valentines Day make sure you go for the best
In finding me a gift, just leave out the rest
Lindt chocolates are more than yummy
And will make me the very happiest mummy
15 years together, wow where has the time gone
We’ve weathered many storms which is a rare phenomenon.
You were this close to throwing us away
But we’ll be celebrating our 15th Valentine’s together this Sunday.
6 years of marriage, and two sons to boot
And you still love me even when I wear a swimsuit.
For always, my love, I solemnly swear
I will be walking on cloud 9 and air.
R4 is Red
R2 is Blue
If I was the Force
Id be with You
(ok we are Star Wars geeks) 🙂
Carlton-james Jnr Kennedy Married life is not all Sunshine and roses. It’s the roughest oceans and the most challenging obstacles. We have overcome the roughest oceans and we have stood as champions overcoming the most challenging obstacles. 4 years going on 5 may our marriage only grow from strength to strength.
Love is inevitable we don’t chose who we love it just happens we can sometimes try and resist but if its meant to be in will remain. I have always said you are my boomerang even when I tried the hardest to forget you always ended up coming back. Marrying you was a chose , falling in love with you was unstoppable. You will always be my heart on the outside.
My hubby is a gem.. he’s really very sweet.. he always remembers to put down the toilet seat. Its the little things in life that makes my heart skip a beat, small little surprises.. or a foot massage in this heat.. We’ll be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary in April this year.. and he knows what my heart desires.. my love for lindt is very clear. So I really hope to win this treat, its fantastic to behold.. those strawberries and cream truffles… YUMMMMY i’m sold. Shared on twitter @lynnandjp
My dear for ever
I shall leave u never
Time will make our love grow
Further from you I will never go
I love u now, I loved u then
I will love u forever always and again
Love is blind, love is kind, the moment I met you life became worthwhile,till this day I love that you mine and always thank god for you being so kind
Before You
I were so lost
had an empty
feeling inside….
My heart were aching
had a longing for Your love
I were stubborn,
selfish at time,
’cause I wanted to
be in control of my life
Slowly but surely
You showed me
that I’m nothing….
Still I didn’t want
to listen….
’till I fell flat on my face!!
You were the One
to pick me up
to carry me
and to surround
me with Your love
that I couldn’t hide from….
I opened my heart…
let You in and fell
in love with You!
Love you through the good
When we laugh and life’s a hoot
Love you as a super dad
Exploration makes me glad
Love you when frowns appear
Yes you, I hold you always dear
I am grateful for your sunny smile
With you fore’er I’ll walk The Mile
You are my life
I’m so happy to be your wife
Thanks for the last eight years
With you by my side I have no fears
You make me smile
And inspire me to walk a mile
We can conquer anything together
I will love you forever
Oh dearest hubby of mine
Please be my Valentine
#LoveLindorSA
When I met you first, I thought my heart might burst.
You were funny and kind and always on my mind.
17 Years later you still make me smile and you always go the extra mile.
I hope we win the “under the stars” hamper, this would be a great Valentines Day pamper!
The only thing in this world
Better than chocolate
Is your love
At first, it’s true, they may seem very similar –
Both you and chocolate are very goopy,
You both make my tummy feel warm and happy on the inside,
as you plant delicious kisses on my lips, leaving me licking my lips and wanting for more.
But the difference is, unlike chocolate which never seems to last long enough, your love never runs out.
Sweet is my valentine,
Oh so divine,
Like a box of chocolates,
By Lindor’s Design,
On this, Cupid’s day,
I hope this, your love will sway
With all things cheesy and new
My bae love this is for you
You brighten my smile with every coffee cup
Except when you leave the toilet up
You are just about my one in a million
My everyday heartbeat
When I am feeling down and low
You know just how to pick me up
A few extra blocks of lindt chocolate
Right in my coffee cup
So it’s Valentines day and I just wanted to say
That you my darling love are my Valentines Day
If roses were red and violets could be blue,
It will take us away to a place just for two.
You will see my true colors and all that I felt.
I will see that you could love me and nobody else.
We will build ourselves a fortress where we’d run and play.
You will be mine and I will be yours till our dying day.
Then I wake and realize you were never here.
The pain, the hurt is felt daily
It’s all just my thoughts, my dreams, my hopes.
Divorce is never easy.
Roses are Red, Violets are Blue….
When only the sweetest chocolate will do
I will bring you some Lindt, to charm you all day
and tell you I love you in the tastiest way
Your kisses melt on my lips like a Lindor ball
the stars frame your hair as the night begins to fall
Hours pass by – in a moment, it seems,
As my angel and Lindt fill my chocolate dreams.

*************A Poem for Ronel: By Darren Marais******************
She Loved me:
She loved me -when I was down and beaten
She loved me- when i was lost and mistreaten
she loved me regardless of all of my flaws
My heart was locked-but she tore down the doors
She shone her light-I was in a dark place
and when I looked up to see her face
She smiled and reached down with her soft little hand
She picked me up and helped to stand
and in the darkness- a light had grown
as she showed me a love I had never before known
and suddenly the man that she once knew
was healed and strong and loving and new!
and our paths became one on this journey of life
as we became a team-a husband and wife
A million stars up in the sky,
One shines brighter I can’t deny,
A love so precious a love so true,
I Love You, I always do!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
You in my head
In all I do
Hugs are good
Only from you
Never thought I would
Feel like I do
Love is tough
Love is easy
I’m sorry this stuff
Is so cheesy
From happy times
And Giddy times
And Steamy times
We were drawn together
Through tough times
Through hard times
We’ve stuck together
Our love is the glue that binds us together
Always and forever, no matter what
You turn my lights out
Through you I am alive
Through you I see our future
You turn my negatives to positives
I love for what you have been
I love you for who you are
i love you for what you are yet to be
This is love this is us This is where I sleep
Roses are red, violets are blue, I love pizza, how about you?
I’m really bad at this but I love pizza.
i may not be romantic everyday through out the year , and i may not always say the things that you are most like to hear . But you must surely know by now ,im happy that your mine and that youll always be my life long sweet heart .
September 25th was the best day of my life
This day was the day that I became your wife.
Through 17 years of love, sweat and tears
You are the only one that can soothe my fears
I loved you then, I love you now and until the day I die
You are the best of the best, you are my only guy.
I will never lose myself no matter how far I go, it will be never too far from home.
Its not all roses for us
But we never gave up
Yes even sometimes I want to hit you with a pot.
Our love flame will never burn out.
You are our Dad & Husband.
We have a Bond.
You are our CEO of our house.
Although you are scared of a mouse.
Love you always
Wished I could show it in many ways.
I love you for your cooking skills, your 6 star course with your alcoholic touch.
I love you for your washing up gloves, the dishes sit until you are gloved.
I love you for your cleaning skills, your 5 min start before nature calls.
But MOST of all, I love you for the finer things – your beautiful laugh, that cheeky smile, my two gorgeous boys and that fast, sharp mind.
Push me to the floor and feed me Lindor,only if I can share the yum with my Valentine chum.
Life is a bed of roses….and delicious Lindor to share in bed with roses galore!
Rose are red, Violets are blue,
But, none of that will do!
Sugar is sweet and so are you,
But we both know only Lindt will do.
Roses aren’t always red
Violets aren’t always blue
Love is never easy
but it is when I’m with you
You make the roses red
the violets blue
and all you have to do is be you.
You’re part of my heart, even though you sometimes behave like a fart, you and I can never be apart mainly because I’m the bulls eye for your dart. We fight we play but come what may, I’ll forever be with you because I’m here to stay because I’m your Bae (H)….
My love, you have my heart
I never want us to part
There’s no doubt that we’re meant for each other
And our love is so pure, and like none other
Since you came into my life, I feel complete
I am so lucky to have a boyfriend who is so sweet
You’re all I’ve ever wanted and all I need
All my expectations you do exceed
I am incurably in love with you
I cannot wait for us to say “I do”
You are my King and my Everything
You make my heart sing
I love you ♥
Oh, and I love Lindt too ♥
#LoveLindorSA Roses are red and so it Lindtor . With chocolate in your hand my heart will belong to you. Nothing sweeter nothing better nothing more romantic than your love. So please please Lindtor be my valentine.
#LoveLindorSA You are my high school sweetheart,
You are my SuperMan that showed me the Super Powers of Marriage
You are my SpiderMan that showed me how to untangle the web of parenthood,
You are my BatMan that showed me how to drive my car ,
You are my Soulmate that made me believe that love is Everlasting,
You are My Prince Charming that made me feel like Cinderella,
You are My Everything and
I love you with all my heart Jay Francis now and forever more.
You are my soul mate
You showed me that true love really exist
You love me wholeheartedly with no conditions
Each day I spend with you is Valentine’s Day

He is so cute
He is so sweet
Just like Lindor
This love’s a treat!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I hate writing poems,
But for chocolate I’ll do 😉
I will choose you
over and over
without a pause
without a doubt
in a heartbeat
I will keep choosing you
my love #LoveLindorSA
When I look into his eyes and see,
No one else but me,
When we’re together,
I wish those moments could last forever,
And when we’re apart,
I feel an emptiness within my heart,
When he touches my face,
Or holds me in his warm embrace,
I just love listening to him speak,
The way he says my name sounds so unique,
When he lends me his ear,
My problems seem to disappear,
And when I’m with him I have nothing to fear,
Or when our fingers intertwine,
He just sends shivers down my spine,
And that’s how I know he’s mine.
My hubby and I sat on Robben Islands pier
Happily married for plus 20 years
Recounting the great things the two of us can share
The birth of our boys for which he was there
The bumps and bruises that life sends us all
Made us laugh & cry but together stood tall
As life trundles on we try hard to stay fit
Sometimes whilst gyming my knees ache a bit
As we look back at Cape Town some eight k’s away
We’ve much to be gratefull for in so many ways
When we get off our boat we’ll be off for a bite
And dance cheek to cheek for the rest of the night
Thirty years ago I got real lucky, no not the lotto
Love writing ain’t that easy,
So this poem might be a bit cheesy.
Roses is red but your eyes ain’t blue
,but I am still madly in love with you
Lindor chocolates is a gift from my heart
You are sexy, awesome and very smart
You’ve my friend, my lover and soul mate
Let’s have fun and stay out late

Roses are Red, blueberries blue, my love for you is truer that true.
I don’t have a controller,
And I don’t have a screen,
I don’t need to be plugged in,
I’m not grey and green.
I can’t make sound effects,
Or visuals that are fantastic,
You can’t put me on a shelf,
Because I’m not made of plastic.
However, I do have curves,
Will keep you entertained all the same,
You can’t insert a disc,
But we can make our own little game.
Roses are RED
Violets are BLUE.
No matter what happens,
I’ll always choose you!
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
You stole my heart
And don’t give it back
Love Is …
Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can’t control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.
L -for all the Love we shared/will share
O- for being Optimistic and getting me
through the rough patch
V- filling the Void in my heart with your
love
E – you are truly my Everything and i
want to spend the rest of my life with
you
I love You #LoveLindorSA
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue
But who needs flowers
When I can share Lindor with you?
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
I get Hayfever… Aaaachoo!
So I’d much rather receive a box of Lindor from you!
(and a kiss or two 😉 )
Roses are red
Violets aren’t really blue
Everything’s better when I’m with you.
Chocolate is great
You’re even better
Best of all is you and chocolate together
What is love?
When you happy to woke up next to your partner.
What is love?
When you have an argument and afterwords feel terrible about it.
What is love?
When they support you even of its something weird.
What is love?
When you still get butterflies after many years married
What is love?
When they love you for who you are.
What is love?
When you fall in love over and over for the same person.
What is love?
When we are an example for our kids.
#BecomingYou
