My Valentine

I hold your beating heart in my naked palms. Your eyes reveal the love you can’t express— A tenderness, well disguised by strong broad shoulders and male pride. Yet I know the heart that beats inside. It is a Valentine that melds with mine. *Dedicated to my husband Michael Happy Valentine's Day to everyone here.

VERY sweet gesture for everyone here. Did you enter it in a contest? PD's is still on!!! Just entitle it "Be my Valentine" and put it on. Thanks for all your comments to me recently. It is a real struggle lately for me to get here. I almost got caught up here after school. Promised joe I'd be home at 4. I really have to get out of here. hahaha
