It seems like ages ago sometimes and yet it also seems like yesterday.

I held you in my arms and whispered in your ear to say,

“Be me Valentine for life.”  Your answer caught my breath.

You said, “I will.  This I promise we shall never part till death.”

It is now our Golden years, my Dear and you have kept your word for we are still in love.

A marriage that was surely arranged and support from Angels sent from above.

Now as I look back upon my life I do not regret that I made you my wife.

You have stood beside me through happy times and also through days of strife.

Today I would like to renew my request although I know what you will say.

Will you continue to be my Valentine for life, through rain or shine or come what may?

The answer I know is coming but it is always music to my ears.

You will say yes and I will hold you, love and always keep you near.
