A Sappy Valentine Poem (I couldn't resist!)

He stole my heart at only fifteen
Before then I only dated boys who were mean

I soon learned what it was to be swept off your feet
Two fools more in love you would never meet

But we grew up and nearly parted ways
Love can be tough, so proved those days

We hung in there with faith and our love grew
Took root even deeper and followed through

A family was next, from two hearts to three – to four?!
We found out there were two, and he almost hit the floor

Our life now a circus, we rarely get to stop
Sometimes it’s all perfect; sometimes we’re a flop

But even on bad days, we know where we stand
Beside each other, hand in hand

He’s good to me in ways that could make only a mother’s heart sing
Laundry and sleep-in Saturdays-- to heck with a fancy ring!

And for Valentine’s Day I am truly blessed
A gift of sprinkled donut holes—he surely does know me best!


I love you, Silly Silly Suntan Man!
