Notes About The Poem

Written, January 13, 2026
For the Premiere Contest,
“A Valentine With A Twist In The Tail”
Sponsor, Suzette Richards

My Forever Valentine

We married young, while many thought
more planning time- we should have sought.
But deep in love, we firmly fought,
clinging to our star.
Determined with our spirits high,
strong hope and faith helped life comply.
Full sixty-seven years flew by!
And yet here we are.
