Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Dear Dear Heart

Dear Dear Heart.

A Valentines poem

You stayed strong through thick and thin
you stayed and helped me through.
I'd be six feet under ground
if it hadn't been for you.

You warned me time and time again
that you couldn't take much more.
But I would turn and go back to
where we had been before.

You taught me the way to heal 
is to learn to love again.
I know times that it was you
to need reminded now and then.

It ain't been an easy road
as we took turns in the lead.
Laying there by you by me
we watched each other bleed.

Sometimes it seems I couldn't hear 
the things you tried to say.
Then there we go back in again
where it's you that had to pay.

I know you doubt what comes from me
when I say I've learned a lot.
I swear to you these words are true
I know you're all I got.

Still one thing remains undone
and that's where I've got to start.
Have a happy Valentines Day
to you my dear, dear heart.
