Romantic Valentine - Ah, My Dear Wife

Ah, Partner in Adventure, My Dear Wife,
  We've conquered Mt. Everest,
  Floated in the Dead Sea,
  Braved whitewater rapids:
  Yes, just you and me.

We've savored the treasures
  Of the Louvre and Hermitage,
  Scaled the Eiffel Tower---
  Even navigated jungles
  That turn heroes into cowards.  

We've won Marathons,
  Biathlons, Triathlons,
  And an Iron-Man Race.
  Next month we venture forth
  On a Journey through Space.

What is there left to do 
  In this Life,
  My Dear Wife, My Turledove,
  --But to write you this Valentine
     And seal it with Love!
  

                      (January 29, 2018)

Very well written. Your feelings surface and carry the emotional force behind your words. A touching and eloquent description of a special feeling within your heart. Your words flow like a gentle rain carrying a message of love aimed at the heart. Well done! Emile.

Gosh, Emile: Your observations are as eloquently and elegantly expressed as the finest romantic poetry. I'm honored and flattered. Change the last letter of your name to "y" and I'll be your valentine!! Best wishes to you, Gershon

Thank you for visiting my site and for your lovely comments. Reading your kind words spurs me on! ...By the way, I'm also working on a "sweat-stained, blood-and-guts, knockdown-dragout" romantic valentine---a different but ultimately equally gratifying side of marriage, that of working through the issues of raising kids. Stay tuned. Thank you so much again. Blessings, Gershon
