Poem - Be My Valentine

Be My Valentine

The smell of roses and chocolates abound.
Friends become lovers you see all around.
They’re holding hands and walking about
It shows in their faces, sometimes a shout.

So with all the pretty colors, red and pink
bring us all to remember and all to think.
We one day fell in love and made plans,
excited, we went together hand in hand.

Valentine cards come with wishes sweet.
We dance a little jig, swirling on our feet.
Our hearts are encouraged, thoughts rise
as we thank our dear Father up in the skies.

Be my Valentine is what I wanted to say
to the one who would give his heart I pray.
Forever is a long time that is so very clear
but there is one out there, I can call dear.

Our engine died just outside of town. With ropes my husband tied himself to the front of the van and checked the motor. He said the guys that serviced our car didn’t put the lid back right and the carburetor, situated in the center of the air filter, was iced up. So we poured through our cosmetic bag and found some men’s cologne. We both knew that alcohol would deice the carburetor. The van started up and we pushed forward. It was s...

The war had begun and it was given the operation name “Desert Storm”. My son Steven was in the marines and already had traveled to the Philippines, Germany and then he was sent to Saudi Arabia where he and several other marines would push through to Kuwait. His responsibility was to defuse land mines placed in the desert floor by the enemy. My husband Richard and I and children all nestled snug in our beds in Mesa, Arizona while all of this was going on. We fervently prayed each night for his and his fellow soldiers safety and protection. I believed in my heart that he would return but it was very difficult to think of him in harms way. He is my eldest son and I spent years preparing him for his future as a leader. Many months passed with no word from him. Steven was stationed there from August to the month of March the following hear. During Christmas I put up a special tree, a small pine with lights which would be called “Steven’s tree”. Since he was not there we were to remember him...
