Valentine Love 2013
Defining love is hard to do,
Ephemeral, elusive bands
Entwine themselves around a heart,
And cause a reaching of the hands.
Perhaps Love starts in Heaven,
A comet of glitter streaking through,
Which orbits somehow to our realm,
And sifts like snow on me, on you.
It blossoms when surrounded by
The love of family, friends who care:
Its fragrance is the golden glow
That gilds the special times we share.
To share with all we know so well,
To squander in a flaming crush;
All kinds of love to season life
With constancy or passion’s rush.
Our times with those who’ve gone before,
Memories dearer far than gold.
Its magic makes us catch our breath:
It’s ever new, does not grow old.
Thus you and I are so entwined:
Strong ties, yet soft as any dove
Lash heart to heart, year after year
By that sweet mystery known as “Love.”
Thank God, it binds us each to each,
As through this world our paths may wind.
For there can be no greater gift
Than comfy, well-worn Valentines.
Written just for you
