Please Be My Valentine

Oh Valentine, Oh Valentine,
Please won’t you be my Valentine,
I love you oh so very much,
I always hunger for your touch
I think about you all the time,
I know that one day you’ll be mine,
Friends say, you're pretty as a picture,
Of Greek and English you're a mixture,
I want to ask you to marry me,
To understand what you mean to me, 
You are my everlasting destiny,
And bring me to the brink of ecstasy,
We’ll build a love nest in a tree,
Like the birds we’ll fly so free,
We’ll have one girl and a little boy,
Who’ll bring us so much fun and joy,
So Valentine, my Valentine,
Please be my own dear Valentine.

Funny you should say so Harry, because i used the tune of 'Oh Christmas Tree oh Christmas Tree'........, this Christmas song and my poem must have a connection. Hope you are feeling as right as rain now my friend Hugs an blessings Jennifer.
