Many years ago a gentleman of my acquaintance said that he only had one real regret with women and that was that no one had ever sent him a love letter. I couldn't in all honesty send him a love letter, but I could write something imaginary for a good person. Now that he is no longer around, feel free to steal his:
Love Poem By Request
Love Poem By Request
I wouldn't have been ready for you then
when the wounds were still fresh
when tomorrow was the hope of fools like
Santa Claus
Sir Galahad
Fairy Tales and
Happily ever after
I wouldn't have been ready for you then
when tears were for goodby
when nice guys like the pledge of allegiance were
In school
In Church
In Books
But never at home
I wouldn't have been ready for you then
when my faith had grown dim
when self evident truths weren't eternal like
Motherhood
Aple Pie
Popcorn
or most of all Love
I wouldn't have been ready for you then
Before I found myself
Before I knew I could still believe in
Santa Claus
Sir Galahad
Fairy Tales
Happily Ever After
Motherhood
Apple Pie
Popcorn
Love
And You
I don't plan on reading very many Valentine's Day poems this year but I must say that this one was quite nice, quite nice indeed!
