Larry Bradfield Poet Sonnet

Love Is a Valentine

She said she'd be back sometime early Spring
It's Summer now - the days are long and hot
She's been delayed by some unforeseen thing
I'll wait, still have the Valentine I bought

I did not notice that the leaves have turned
Golds and reds cause Autumn to fill my thought
Seasons come and they go as I have learned
I can wait, for it is love is it not

I see the geese in "V" as they fly South
The snow will fall before the month is done
I recall the words that came from her mouth
"I will be back for Valentine's Day, Hon".

The years have passed and I aged as I should
Love lasted all my life - I knew it would
