My One And Only Valentine I' ve loved you nearly all my life,, Since I was still in my teens; And now, in the winter of our lives, I know what love really means. I was so young when we married, I thought love was those special dates, Getting all dressed up in fancy clothes, Candlelight dinners at some fancy place; I hadn' t yet realized that true love Is being together, come what may; It's facing all life's ups and downs, Caring for each other along the way. True love is often simple and quiet, Like all the little things you do; You make my life happy and better, Showing how much I mean to you. And sweetheart, I hope you know How very much I love you, too, I don't need candlelight dinners, The only thing I need is you! So to you, Harold, on this special day, My one and only Valentine: I love you more thank words can say, And I'm so thankful that you're mine! © 2019 by Kathryn Brandon; All rights reserved.
