First Valentine’s Card
It was the sweetest first romance
A love that never stood a chance
It was magical, that's the truth
Lasting memories are the proof.
I was young and so much in love
No one knew, only God above
Till one fateful Valentine's Day
A card arrived, gave it away.
Came home from school to a foray
My card had been opened, dismay
My dear mother was on my side
Father's anger I can't describe.
I despaired of what I should do
So wrote a break up letter to
The dear one who I loved so much
Telling him to stay out of touch.
The message I send plain and clear
Is that children shouldn't live in fear
If they're shown love, they live content
And confide in loving parents.
