My Very Own Valentine
by Barbara Lynn Terry


In the circle of life
we ponder our thoughts
of everyday things to do.

We work at different things
to make a living, so that
we might buy things we like.

Like theater tickets for the opera
or maybe a dress for dining
a pair of shoes for dancing.

We might even buy a thing or two
for that special friend
who doted on us.

So in the circle of life
I found my special friend
my significant other.

With her we will be the ones
who laugh, dine, and dance,
across the ballroom floor of love.

She is my angel, my lover, my life
the one who made me her wife
and shared many a secret.

She is the one who completes
for me, the circle of life,
my very own Valentine.

Happy St. Valentine’s Day Nicole.
