Happy Valentines Day!
For all our valentines, our spouses, lovers, friends, parents, or children, let us tell them that we love them today, and at every opportunity. The loves in our lives are what makes everything worthwhile; and although this seems rote, we must not take them for granted. We never know when our last words to a loved one will literally be our last words.
So here is a special “I Love You” to my parents, my siblings, children, grandchildren, and the love of my life, Rob. Here is a poem that I wrote many years ago for Rob.
Work of Art
My lovers hands
Are the hands
Of a working man
Are the hands
Of a working man
They are scarred and roughened
Through being beaten up
By the elements
They are very strong hands
Strong and beautiful
And surprisingly gentle
They are the hands
Of a real man
My man
Here’s wishing you a wonderful day, and a wonderful week. Remember to love yourself, too!
Ciao!
Joan
