Sweetest Day Poems


There is no shortage of sweet days in life but there is one special day to celebrate as a sweetest day, yes! This is October 17, the day maybe good for you or maybe not but it is the sweetest day of the year. This is a celebration for those who are deprived of the basic necessities and happiness of life.
Cleveland celebrated Sweetest Day back in 1992 for the first time, on the third Saturday of October. Its purpose was to provide relief to those who are depressed, even if it is just for a day.
This is the story of a 60 years ago Cleveland resident, Herbert Birch Kingston, a candy store employee, who felt that there should be something special for those who often get unnoticed and neglected. So to help the poor and neglected, he started to distribute small gifts and candies to those who had fallen on hard times, with the help of his friends and neighbors, on a Saturday in October.
The celebration of the day then becomes the tradition of the Cleveland and now it is celebrated not only in the Midwestern U.S. states of, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio and all other region worldwide. Now this tradition is not only limited to candies and gifts but it has expand to cards , flowers , gifts , sweet messages and above all sweet poems have become a vital part of the celebration of the day . You may send a sweet poem of love and sympathy to those you want to share your happiness.
Happy sweetest day; from me to all those, deserve their share in happiness and love. I also want to dedicate a sweetest poem to all poor and deserving people as a gift.
For in our hearts we all recall someone from days gone by who by some act however small did brighten up our sky.
