May we hold close those in our lives
Who touch our hearts
Our husbands, our wives,
Our girlfriends and boyfriends
Our daughters, our sons
and our very best friends
Our sisters and brothers
Our fathers and mothers
Even the furry companions
Who add joy to our days
To those who have passed
We give God praise
for the love they gave
To anyone unmentioned
in this Valentine greeting
We give thanks for your love
For your presence and hugs
Let the Valentine banner be unfurled
And if we could, we’d give them the world

Thanks so much, Christy, you are such a sweetheart. We’re all returning to normalcy, slowly, and one day at a time of grieving still for Mom and now thinking of Dad without her…but, we’re okay, thank you for your kind words and concern. I’ll visit you soon~xx
