I sent a rose to you today.
I hope you didn't mind.
I left it with the Archangel
who was standing just outside.
I left a note upon it.
Signed, to my Valentine.
The simple words were blurred
from the tears I could not hide.
You have enriched my life with laughter
and made the sun to shine.
I love you and I miss you,
Signed, your Valentine.
Sometimes when my heart is heavy,
and these tears I can't avoid,
I would rather have loved you for a moment
than to have an empty void.
Please save a place for me, my love.
I hope you wouldn't mind.
Remember that I love you,
Signed, your Valentine.
Sending A Valentine To Heaven
Henry, I was brought to tears when I read your story. I'm so sorry for your loss. I was blessed and honored you chose to read my poem to your wife. I always ask God for the words to say and...
Your Valentine

ABOUT THE POET:
I live in West Virginia with my husband.
History and genealogy are two subjects that I enjoy reading about.
In the early 2000s, I began writing poetry and was urged by my church's pastor
to create a poem to recite on Sunday nights.
In high school, I became interested in poetry.
When I read Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem...
Thank you, Passion; you are so sweet and have such kind words. I can't take all of the credit; God has blessed me with this gift "of words."
-Blessings to you, my friend
