Are  you  still  my  Valentine
~~~

The  better  part  of  twenty  years
I’ve  lived  within  your  smile
With  fast  approaching  Golden  years
I’ve  loved  you  all  the  while
~
I  used  to  wine  and  dine  you
then  dance  the  night  away
It’s  McDonalds  now  and  curly  fries
that  brightens  up  our  day
~
We  used  to  kick  our  shoes  off
while  walking  on  the  beach
Now  we’re  dragged  around  the  the  block
our  dog  just  hates  the  leash
~
Remember  when  we’d  watch  the  clouds
until  the  stars  arrived
Then  twinkle  twinkle  make  a  wish
‘twas  good  to  be  alive
~
Three  kids  a  dog  and  a  grandson  too
lets  not  forget  our  pills
You’re  getting  gray  I’m  almost  bald
and  we’ve  got  a  lot  of  bills
~
But  always  when  I  gaze  at  you
I  see  my  Valentine
Because  long  ago  upon  that  star
my  wish ...
“please  make  her  mine”
~~~

SWEET AS CANDY...I used to like those little sweet-tart things with the little printed messages on them...remember those?

Smiles and hugs, dear one, hope all is well with you.

It sounds to me like you two are absolutely the cat's pajamas!  A wonderfully sweet poem for your beloved.  Thanks so very much for sharing the tender, honest and clearness of your devotion, your love.

True and lasting love - how beautiful
Even with all the realities, it's still a romantic poem
