PAPER LACE

When life seems like nothing but chores and debt,

And dreams that haven't come true as of yet,

I find a welcome change of scene,

With the coming of February 14.

A lopsided heart stuck with paper lace,

Is thrust at me as I look at my child's smiling face,

Looking at me, hoping I'll take the time

To stop and admire her valentine.

Though our chores won't end and winter's far from over,

I get the feeling that I'm knee-deep in clover

As I hug my child and she hugs me too,

I know tht some of my dreams have already come true.

For she is my child and as she holds her heart,

I know deep in my heart that she and I will never part.
