NO VALENTINE CARD FOR ME[
On 14^th February ever since I was fifteen
I used to stand in front of the mirror and preen.
I’d stand by the letterbox in anticipation
I’d show the boys that I was pretty and keen

Oh joy a card came through the door
My mum beat me to pick it up off the floor
I took it up into my room, the only one I ever had.
I held it to my chest, the card was covered with kisses galore.

The years went by and I met my love
I knew I was his turtle dove
But he would never send me a Valentine’s card
I even prayed he would send one as proof of his love

Did he not love me or was he just mean?
Never a Valentine card to be seen.
I did receive a big one a few years ago
My love said that I must have sent it myself, oh woe that was so!

My love told me words of love were not needed
Oh if only his words of wisdom I had heeded.
He said he did not need to voice his love
“Please send me a Valentines day card” I still pleaded.

I never did receive that longed for Valentine card
And sometimes that would hurt me real hard
Then as he lay dying in his hospital bed
I realised I had always had my longed for Valentine card

His eyes they shone; he smiled, reached out and held my hand
His dying words “I love you, always loved you, please understand
Every day had been Valentine’s day for both of us; I was too blind to see it
My Valentine Card, the token of our love? his and my precious gold Wedding band

This was an excellent poem Gypsy, Although I did recieve Valentine cards from my husband
I'd rather have him by my side than all the cards.
Take care.

Thank you so much Rose I used to get quite upset and cross with him because he would not send a card I call ed him mean and all the names under the sun :sunny: but he would not budge. Said it did not need a card to say he loved me. As he got older he did become more romanticin his way. As you say I had him most of my life, and that is far better than any card.

But...........................

Hi Gypsy..it,s pure coincidence I stumbled across your Valentine poem today.Brought a little lump to my throat as I read it.Like your poem says,no card is required to tell someone how you feel.Have a good day.

Hi Gypsy, Nor me either - but the love was there nonetheless! Of that I am sure. Funny old life isn't it? Loved your poem.

It surely is the person not the card that counts I always feel that I do not require any thing other than telling my wife that I love her on a daily basis usually more than once and that after fifty two years a card would be superflous
No I am not being a mean old Scot
Still I loved the poem
Good luck in tne Comp
