A Place in Your Heart

There was a time when I wrote poems more frequently. Many still rattle around in my head but it seems difficult to find the time to put them down on paper. Some day, I need to do that. For now, here is a poem that I wrote for John on Valentine's Day of 2006.


A Place in Your Heart

Life without you was a lifetime ago,

A far away place

Where I don’t want to go.


Days without you are dreary and gray,

A place full of gloom

Where I don’t want to stay.


Life spent with you – with you near to me,

A place in your heart

Is where I want to be.

Happy Valentine's Day to my sweetheart! I love you!

Karen~ That is so pretty! Somewhere around here I have a folder full of poems I used to write as a teenager. I've got to pull them out sometime and read them~ I wonder if I'd laugh, or if I'd think they were pretty good! LOL
