My Valentine

By

Chiksunny

It’s that special feeling

In just a look or a glance;

It’s that contented sigh

In my modest, ‘not-so tasty’ lunch;

It’s that caring attitude

In all my ups and downs;

It’s that thoughtful encouragement

In all my fumbling endeavors.

It’s what brings-

A lift to my steps,

A smile to my lips,

A flow to my pen,

A flourish to my days.

You are my Valentine-

My true friend for life;

With whom I need not pretend,

Who accepts me for what I am

And who loves me inspite of all my faults.

You are my Valentine-

I’m assured

That

With all the passing years,

When both of us grow older,

When my hair will match the colour of snow,

When my legs begin to falter and stumble,

When my mumbling words will become a jumble,

You will stand by me through thick and thin

As I shall, by your side.

And both will walk together

And face life, unwaveringly,

With zest, zeal and confidence.

The confidence that

Our love for each other will remain

Forever, even in death.
