You’re still my guy.
The one I want for everything.
You are there for listening and loving,
to laugh and cuddle with.
I can always count on you
to be there for me,
fixing things
and taking out the trash.
You drive me in the snow and ice
and when I don’t know where to go.
You bring in the mail
and mow the grass
and sometimes shovel snow.
You always do your best to let me know
how much you love me
each and every day.
You are still my guy
I want as I grow old
to hold my hand
and kiss goodnight,
to say you’re sorry
when we fight.
You’re the one
I want to hear me snore
each and every night.
I even want to hear you say
a little something to me
when my bad habits
get out of hand.
I love you
more than you know,
you’ll always be
that man of mine.
That’s what makes you
my Valentine.

LOL!  Speechless I am! . . . but I truly enjoyed this piece from you, my friend.  Loved the humor in it too . . .

Happy Valentines to you (and I hope he snores too (I don't by the way, just my wife!)

Hey Jimmy!
Glad you liked my Valentine.!
He rarely snores, but makes a bunch of other noises...snorts, wheezes, gurgles etc.

Yeah, my wife too on all the "other" noises . . . sometimes I wake up thinking I'm in bed with a ZOMBIE!

Dear Jerry,
Good to see you are still with us!

What a nice thing to say! I must admit I'm in a pretty good spot these days. Thanks! ~L
