Thirty-five times
I’ve stood reading
Valentine greetings
Beautiful lines
with teary eyes
I could have written
myself if
I’d taken the time
This year I’ll
write my own
I have lots of ideas
but they all sound
like thirty-five years
spent searching the racks
as in You’re my best friend
or I’m lucky to have you
or even You’re the greatest thing
that has ever happened to me
What if I can’t find
anything new to say
What if I stand here
reading until the sales lady
kicks me out at closing time
What if all these cards can’t
describe the special love
I have for you
THAT’S IT!
OUR LOVE IS SO SPECIAL
IT’S INDESCRIBABLE
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Whoa!
Wait a minute!
I’m pretty sure I read that
in a card somewhere

Cute!
Love you. Happy Valentine’s
Thanks. Love you too.
Thanks, Nan. I always enjoy your one word comments. LOL
What a fun poem. I can relate.
Glad you could relate, Laura. It was a fun poem to write.
Good one, Barb!
Thanks, Alan, for commenting. Your cousin is a good subject to write about.
Hi, Barb…so cute.
Here is a poem I wrote as a Valentine to my guy awhile back
Dearest Husband, Half my life I’ve been with you. How long the river we cross matters not. Only how wide our spot. Half my life this hand-stand. Precarious acrobats learning to land, toes touching in our marriage bed.
Half my life
this secret account
with password known
to us alone.
Half my life,
this two-way mirror,
seeing you seeing me
seeing you until that day
we beg to see
life stay…
…forever… your wife.
Donna, thanks for sharing your lovely poem. I enjoyed seeing and hearing your work at the last open mic. Hope you come again.
Another winner, this has your charm written all over it!
Sarita, thank you for the sweet comment pal.
What a fun poem we can all relate to! I love the “what if..” stanzas.
Thanks, Amber. The “what if” section matches my personality. I’m a worrier, as in oh no, what if.
