Valentine's Day 2009

by Jane E Pearce

What is love????

It's fifty seven streaming years

of laughter, passion. and secret tears,

spring tulips, summer roses,

fall red maples flaming, hours

of smiles baby naming,  golfing

gardening, partying with friends,

thinking it all never ends.

.

What is love?????

It's fright and disbelief seeing

you gasping for breath,

eyes in panic running from death.

.

 

I'm here by your side to take

you away from this stress,

with alittle talk and a gentle caress.

.

What is love??? It's moving your hand

from the tube of the vent or checking

the rate of your I.V.-----anything to

help you come back to me.

 

That's love

Truly, you paint a life together of devotion that is very moving.

It surely is. In a world of hills and valleys, this is one of the deeper valleys that poets weep to ascribe. Touching write.
