To My Valentine
By Anna O. Thompson
You are the love of my life.
In your eyes there is no strife.
All 1 see is love and delight.
Oh Lord! Let it last all of our life!
There is no one in the whole world.
Who could replace you in worth.
For you give me the will to live each day.
And enjoy your presence every way!
Just to hold your hand as we stroll...
Down the winding trail so bold...
Makes us feel like happy love birds
Way up in the sky so high with the birds! r
Love is such a Godly, soulish, precious thing,
Deep down in my heart it brings...
A feeling so sweet and true, #
My Valentine, there's no one else like you!
(Written in memory of her husband. Jerry, who died Jan. 8. 1971 )
