Wishes (Valentine's Day Poems)

*  *  *

* * *

Will you be my valentine?

Trust me,

I'm not trying to whine

but if you'll be my valentine

I promise I'll be thine

Would you take me out to dine

I don't

need the top of the line

I don't need champagne or wine

A milkshake will be fine

Chocolates and strawberries

as sweet as they may be

fail to say how very much

you've come to mean to me

* * *

My dearest, true love

my greatest sorrow is I

haven't met you yet

* * *

To my husband-

Gazing t'ward the distance

I often think of you

I see your smile, hear your voice

and dream of what you do

I wonder what you're thinking of

what is it that you feel?

Sometimes when I envision you

it seems so very real

And yet I know inside

it's just a fairy-dream

For how can one envision some-

-one they have never seen?

Yes, all my fancies are but fun

just girlish whims you see-

but God already knows you well

And He'll lead you to me

So when I kneel to pray

this night to God above

I ask that He will bless us soon

my darling future love

-Your wife
