Mother's Valentine
My mother made a valentine
So very long ago
And decked it out all prettily
Like for a special beau.
I watched her as she cut the heart
Then frilled it up with lace
And worked artistically away,
A smile upon her face.
She wove a ribbon, shiny red,
Among the lace so white
Then placed a picture of herself
Through a slit she cut inside.
I saw the words, 'I love you, Dear,
I'm proud to be your wife
You're given me the blessings
Of a blissful, wedded life.'
I felt like laughing out for joy,
My childish heart was glad!
Mom's special valentine would go
To a special beau named Dad.
It's More Than Saying I Love You
We give on this day candy and flowers,
But we never stop to say thank you for the many hours.
You have stood by my side and gave a smile,
As if to tell our hearts it's been worth every mile.
No need to buy a teddy bear or even a card,
It's pretty simple and not at all hard.
Just put your arms around me and hold me tight,
And say without words that in your heart all is right.
You may say I Love You throughout the year,
But on this day you need to make sure.
The words so sweet and straight from your heart,
That your life would be lonely without my part.
So put forth the effort and take the time,
Look me in the eye and say I'm glad you're mine.
To My Husband, My Life, My Eternal Valentine
This is to thank you for being by side
For comforting and caring when I was all confused inside.
This is for the phone calls you make every day
Just to tell me 'I love you' every minute of the day.
The way you take my hand in yours
For all the world to see
That this is the woman
Who is most special to me.
You always seem to know
When I need a hug, kiss or smile...
You never cease to amaze me
When you say, 'I'm here..let's talk for a while.'
In decades past we've had our share
Of ups and downs and problems galore
But you are the one who remained at my side
Never thinking of walking out the door.
I adore the way you tell me,
'You are my forever best friend,'
I love the way I believe in you...
And that you will be there till the end.
Thank you for all the time you give me
And for saying, 'It's never enough'
Thank you for listening as I ramble on...
When things become rather tough.
We are in the best years of our lives
Thirty four years on our journey together
I want to grow old with you and you with me
I want to love YOU FOREVER.
