Valentine--A Poem

Valentine

It hasn't been so long since I've known,

Known how to breathe

A decade and a half is my life,

The life that I've been offered

It's beautiful alright 

But sometimes I do seek a valentine.

There is a roof over my head

And a veil right below it

There's chocolate in the fridge

And roses on the flower post

And I thank God I have it

Still I do wish for a valentine.

One day I'll be leaning on my balcony rail

Certain as the rising sun

And somebody will hand me a coffee mug

Then we'll talk about the price of bread

And I'll thank God for everything

Everything that is my valentine

At least not for a long time

I'd rather not break a random heart

Never would I lie to my blood

Nor will I deceive my soul

So hang in there dear valentine

Till I come claim what's mine
