A Thoughtful Valentine

Such silence in the morning hours
Soft azure skies, clouds white and fluffy
Crows, the family three
Have taken over the shed
The trees the fence
Claiming it as their own
Their caws and hisses
Scuffles with the squirrels
Blacks and grays, beauties all
Hence my animal sanctuary

Doctors and nurses and surgeons
My life a medical museum
Yet there are moments
Between apps and tax rumbles
Attempts to pull me back into
The era before the surgeries, 
And life struggles, there are moments
When we remember other times

With hopes and wishes that
Although it won’t be the same
Through the struggles and the pains
Yes something is lost 
But truly there is something retained 
For Valentines bring all the wishes
Of thoughtful love and kisses.
