A Valentine Gift For Me

Just before the break of day my Dearest Darling went away, but when she left, she left behind a special gift for me to find. The first thing that I do each morn, before the DART train blows his horn, a cup of coffee starts my day to get me on my merry way. And there inside my coffee mug a note to me tucked nice and snug. The note was from my dearest bride; she knew I’d find it there inside. The note to me, it read like this, “Wish I was there to give a kiss and hug to start your day off right, but I’ll return to you tonight. We’ll sit beside the burning fire fulfilling all our love’s desire, and knowing that our stars align; you’ll always be my Valentine.” February 13, 2018 Contest: Valentine's Day Sponsor: Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer
