On Valentine's Day, the loss and absence of a loving life partner is most surely felt more deeply. My olde classmate in school passed on sometime in April 2021.

This year 2024, his spouse felt the loss especially at Valentine's.

So, I wrote this poem for her -- to honour the memory of my friend.

She thanked me… "for my words of comfort."

Hope this poem touches your heart as well.

Journey Journal Page TRUE HEARTS KNOW By Leon Enriquez True souls that meet Upon these streets Are here by fate A joyous state To dream and dance To live fond trance For man and wife Must endure strife Till time brings change In loss most strange Yet in the heart Love creates art A timeless feel Of true goodwill Memory is The way of bliss Cherish each day Your precious stay Valentine’s Day Blooms mystic sway A deeper whole Of heart and soul When time stands still As true love spills The love you love A treasure trove Remains the same Not just in name As feelings stay Your timeless play So be at peace In your life lease For by your side Through time and tide Your lover smiles A look worthwhile ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 14 February 2024 CNY 2024, Day #5 Singapore
