Footprints of Love

There she lies in the sofa Reading a novel My lovely princess Born on a Valentine’s Day Fair she was and cute Delicate and soft She exuded wisdom She portrayed love My Valentine pal I remember her smiles now Her solemn kisses She lived a life to her fill As I cast my mind back To the past Val seasons I spent with her Good thoughts re-echo In my mind We walked for miles We sat close to each other Beside the shore We admired God’s unique creation The words she spoke On her twenty-fifth birthday Sounded so true to me “Darling, you really mean so much To me Your unfailing care surpasses My imagination Your daring strength Has brought us thus far You kept our secrets You shared them With no one else You kept me As a priceless Jewel You carried me gently In your hands” Today marks The fifth anniversary Of the day We exchanged Our espousal vows My heart is full of joy As I ponder over these things.
