Seren Roberts Poet Light Verse

Forgotten Valentine Card

She is an old lady of 98
Living in her own time
Saw the hearts of a Valentine Card
Thought to herself where is mine

With puzzled frown upon her face
An old memory floated by
Of a time and a place
Plus a card with angels that fly

She is remembering the handsome lad
Dark curly hair and dimpled smile
Who vowed undying love to her
Married her in grand style

Those memories have faded
Gone are the days of love
But nestled in an old tin box
Is the card she was dreaming of.

Wayland Bunch February 2, 2013 at 3:07 AM I erased my comment after all, but on accident, but I said then you brits are the dunces lol, and that was a little joke. I actually lived in a place where they do the exact same, and had considered that, but saw you replied before I deleted. Anyway keep up the great work, and yes the enjoyment of the writing is almost always the most important part.
