Footprints of Love
There she lies in the sofa
Reading a novel
My lovely princess
Born on a Valentine’s Day
Fair she was and cute
Delicate and soft
She exuded wisdom
She portrayed love
My Valentine pal
I remember her smiles now
Her solemn kisses
She lived a life to her fill
As I cast my mind back
To the past Val seasons
I spent with her
Good thoughts re-echo
In my mind
We walked for miles
We sat close to each other
Beside the shore
We admired God’s unique creation
The words she spoke
On her twenty-fifth birthday
Sounded so true to me
“Darling, you really mean so much
To me
Your unfailing care surpasses
My imagination
Your daring strength
Has brought us thus far
You kept our secrets
You shared them
With no one else
You kept me
As a priceless Jewel
You carried me gently
In your hands”
Today marks
The fifth anniversary
Of the day
We exchanged
Our espousal vows
My heart is full of joy
As I ponder over these things.
