YEAR-LONG VALENTINE

There aren't many moments when my thoughts aren't of you,

My life is still as bright as when our love was new.

When the day is filled with problems

And children's runny noses,

Your simple,"Honey I love you"

Is as welcome as a dozen roses.

It's nice to be remembered with a store-bought valentine,

But I want you to know that I have one

Each day that you are mine.
