Forgotten Valentine

The world has passed her by       Hiding in the shadows by day      Another nameless face   Never knowing quite what to say      Never has she had a lover      To hold her at night      Saying the words      That makes everything right      Holidays come and go      Can`t count all the years     Sleeping alone in the dark      Fighting back the tears      Not once has  she received      A lover`s valentine      Asking her the question      Will you be mine

I see this must have won in a contest. It's a sad Valentine poem but I like it. Actually I prefer to say damn!! But I have to be kind of careful what I write on the more current comments!! I'm back here now on your page two. you never heard DANG before?? DANG, boy, where have you been?? (I'm not from Kentucky but my mom says we have ancestors from there and I always loved that state for being the home state of my fave man, Abraham LIncoln)
