Valentine Poem To the Love of My Life

Amid the happy golden 
    years, Filled with love 
    Yet touched with tears
    I find such joy my dear 
             with you
 A precious love, so strong 
           and true
 Today we celebrate love's 
          sweet bliss
 With cards, and smiles
          A sacred kiss
But everyday my heart is 
               yours
  Smiles, and hugs amid 
           life's chores
         The daily love 
         acknowledging 
  Through every season 
  love's seedlings spring
 My lifelong love so strong 
   and true, I honor and  
          I respect you 
    Happy Valentines Day
               Jerry
           I Love You!

Thank you Vijay, I feel very blessed. It's been through richer. poorer, sickness, health, better, worse, to love and to cherish for over four decades. Our wedding vows to each other and to God helped us to hold on through rough times of life. True love is kind of like the Grand Canyon with it's valley's and plateaus. As we look back over our long marriage, it's amazing to see the adventure we've been through together <3

This is such a true, straight from heart write. I loved every word of it. Cannot say which is best line. love overflows amidst tears, chores, seasons. That is the way one should live. You inspired me friend. You rightly said honour and respect, very important for love. A wonderful poem. Happy to have read it. Have a blessed day ahead. Take care Rama

Thank you Rama! It is true that it did overflow from my heart :) I learned long ago that without respect, love cannot flourish. It is a very key component to true love. Thank you so much for your very encouraging words to me. <3
