An Unexpected Valentine

 

 

While baking a cake the other day

I discovered a treat along the way

On a tiny yellowed paper, I had to look

Though hidden deep within my recipe book

Soon the tears streamed down my face

As I remembered the specific time and place

My sweet daughter at the table, crayon in hand

Her laughing and saying time and again

Mommy I love you, will you please be mine

And I kissed her head and said, all the time

This yellowed paper with a heart with a smile

Has traveled down many roads and many miles

Although the years have slipped past too fast

The sentiment remains, and I love you lasts

Daughters (I have two) will do that to you if you are fortunate. Clearly, you are. I do know that, because of my "maleness" I miss a lot. But I am working on it. Your poem helps. Thank you, Sharon. Love and peace,

Regis

Your excellent title hooked us into this one. You've wirtten te kind of poem denied to most men. Daughters and sons and Dad meet in a somewhat different way... and it it our loss. Enjoyed this, and remember when the mother of our children got ushc wonderful Valentines from our "Biddies." Thanks for the memories... you make them so dellicious! - Bill

... And now you have the perfect envelope to seal it in, so that the two remain together forever. Precious moment beautifully reproduced in these your words and poem, Sharon. So pleased to meet you, and thank you for your comment on my poem. Have to confess to my frig STILL being covered in artwork from my babies' infancy... they are now 21 and 18! Time moves so slowly in the minds of mothers and yet so fast in their offspring. Beautiful sharing. TY Kate xx

Nothing beats the sight and sound of our own siblings telling us that they love us.

This poem is worth prominence in a special Valentine card.
