My Valentine…

If not for you, how bleak my world would be
How dull my days without your easy charms
What empty hours if I did not see
Your smile, or feel the comfort of your arms.

What would I do if storms were at my door
Who would I turn to if the road grew rough
You were my hero and defender, I was sure
together, we would always be enough.

We stepped into the daylight hand in hand
a love affair that would not be denied
with challenges we could not understand
Prepared to face the future side by side.

We have not faltered, pray we never will
With every passing day I love you still.
