Happy Valentine's Day

A Valentine (1860)

I found and old, old, valentine
of my mother’s yesterday;
An age-stained, lacy, lovely thing
That she had put away
Between the covers of a book,
And as I touched it there,
I saw her young and beautiful
The sunlight on her hair,
The love-light in her dark, young eyes
That years could not destroy,
And through the paper lace there walked
My father as a boy.

Somewhere along the heavenly lanes
Today, their eyes ashine,
I think he asks her once again
To be his Valentine.

Grace Noll Crowell

My mother really didn't like that poem because it made her cry.
That is the reason I love it. I think, however of my Grandparents, Clarence and Sadie Cole because it fits the love they had.

A special Valentine's day wish to all of my readers and my Brothers in Masonry. ARTYAR - Hugs, j-bear
