MY HEART TELLS

My heart tells that I love you, dear
but my brain yells that I should fear
     your valentine quest
     leading to debt crest
so let’s just celebrate sans tear.*

*9th place, "Pickup lines for Valentines Day" Limerick Poetry Writing Premiere Contest; Sponsored by Suzette Richards; judged on 1/29/2024

My divine love-verse dedicated to my LORD and SAVIOUR:
 
Your love** to me, my God, is gift so dear Along peace, grace and mercy of life's gear... Midst gratitude mirth I treasure Your worth Thus, losing You is what I truly fear.
**I John 4:7-8 - "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love."
