Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

A choice

A tribute to a friend. Happy Valentines Day!

This Valentines Day , I think of you
All that you did with me, so very true
Authenticity is precious, like a gem
It's important as a flower's stem
With you, anyone knew where they stand
You would say it how it is and understand
No circles, no guessing, no blame to endure...
Even disagreements would help cure
A lost soul and pain of a broken heart 
     - It was like that from the start -
You passed away suddenly so long ago,
but you still breathe through me in a flow
It carries on and on, this is what I know
Gratitude never fades for all that we had
So, I choose happiness today instead of sad

Gershon Wolf February 14, 2026 at 10:19 PM 'No circles, no guessing, no blame to endure.' Can't think of anything more to ask for in a relationship than that. Bravo, Heidi! Heidi Sands February 15, 2026 at 5:26 AM Thank you so very much Gershon :)
