Love Poem: Footprints of Love

Footprints of Love

There she lies in the sofa
Reading a novel
My lovely princess
Born on a Valentine’s Day
 
Fair she was and cute
Delicate and soft
She exuded wisdom
She portrayed love
 
My Valentine pal
I remember her smiles now
Her solemn kisses
 
She lived a life to her fill
As I cast my mind back
To the past Val seasons 
I spent with her
Good thoughts re-echo 
In my mind
 
We walked for miles
We sat close to each other 
Beside the shore
We admired God’s unique creation
 
The words she spoke 
On her twenty-fifth birthday
Sounded so true to me
 
“Darling, you really mean so much
 To me
 Your unfailing care surpasses 
 My imagination
 
 Your daring strength 
  Has brought us thus far
 
 You kept our secrets
  You shared them 
   With no one else
 
   You kept me 
    As a priceless Jewel
You carried me gently 
In your hands”
 
Today marks 
The fifth anniversary 
Of the day 
We exchanged 
Our espousal vows
 
My heart is full of joy
As I ponder over these things.
