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.
