Be My Valentine

Before you came into my life,

Existence for me was one of strife.

Melancholia kept me bound in chains,

Your love alleviated all my pains.

Valiantly you saved me from solitude,

Accepting my flaws and attitude.

Loving me now for twenty-five years,
Easing my burdens and soothing my tears.
Never could mere words express my heart,
The way I feel about you and all you impart.
I love you with all my heart and soul,
Nirvana is ours, together we're whole.

E'er through life with God we'll stroll.
