Curtis Johnson Poet Rhyme

My Valentine

For 50 plus years, I have walked up and down hills. 
Sometimes, I had to swallow bitter pills.
Some years were filled with tears.

A few were cloudy and covered with fears,
But you stood with me through the years.
Some years were beset with a struggling career,
Forcing bills to be paid in arrears.

Life is not always as it appears.
Sometimes, we were compelled to change gears,
Learning to ignore some things that one hears.

You would say, "Look forward, not in the rear".
You always spoke courage and hope to my ears.
You have always been faithful and most dear.

For 50 plus years, you have been my valentine,
Always helping me to stand tall and shine,
Enabling me time after time to walk the line
