Romantic Valentine - Ah, My Dear Wife
Ah, Partner in Adventure, My Dear Wife,
We've conquered Mt. Everest,
Floated in the Dead Sea,
Braved whitewater rapids:
Yes, just you and me.
We've savored the treasures
Of the Louvre and Hermitage,
Scaled the Eiffel Tower---
Even navigated jungles
That turn heroes into cowards.
We've won Marathons,
Biathlons, Triathlons,
And an Iron-Man Race.
Next month we venture forth
On a Journey through Space.
What is there left to do
In this Life,
My Dear Wife, My Turledove,
--But to write you this Valentine
And seal it with Love!
