Miss Barbara

No. She's not an angel; Of this I am certain. For she is very much a mortal and seeks no other identity. She's only human She's just a woman I love her. She loves me. Of this I am certain Moreover, from where I sit, neither hypocrisy nor selfishness exists. On the contrary, she models purity of purpose and exemplifies Truth. Her love for others is deep. She's strong and she is weak. Her strength defies her weakness, rendering it limited and ineffective. Yes. She is a saint; Of this I am certain; For she is a par above and highly connected to God. Both her tears and her laughter exude a captivating aroma with a divine fragrance that compels me to give attention and high regard. And I? I am blessed to be her husband. She's God's gift to me above all others. I have been married to her for 50-plus years. Valentine '24 will be our 54th Valentine together.
