Valentine

My life with you is like the ocean in waves it comes and goes 
And just below the surface love is deeper than we know

Not once have I forgotten just where we began
Or how my love still grows with each touch of your hand

As the many years have passed our love has seen its trials
But I have seen it travel the distance of many many miles

Through every raging storm of life and all that we have seen
The magic of your love has safely carried me

Here before you now I stand to tell you how I feel
With all that is within me I know this love is real

So this year for Valentine’s Day I have only this to ask
Will you be my Valentine and let this love forever last?


*Dedicated with love to my wonderful husband, David.

This is a cool valentine you've given to your baby Lolita. When he reads this a night on the town, I bet is in order. Smile, Love, Moses

Oh, sorry I missed this one. It's so very nice, Lolita. I love that name. Reminds me of some songs I grew up with (Lola) and a musical I once saw in which i believe one of the characters was named Lola or Lolita. Glad I got to see your entry finally! LUv, andrea

What a great source of inspiration David is for you, Lolita! You are both lucky to have each other as you face the storms throughout your life together. The reader can really feel the love in your heart here. Great work! Love, Carolyn
