For You
Here’s an early valentine I’m writing
with all the love that lives at my command
to one whose smile is always so inviting
that I can never wait to hold her hand
Age creeps on but we are like teenagers
I look at you and see how young you are
I used to enjoy making little wagers
but there’s no need you are my only star
Today there is not much to celebrate
Cowards spewing hatred roil our nation
So I turn my thoughts to my wondrous fate
You make the most bilious situation
Vanish in the joys that you create
This happiness is worth a great deal more
Than any pains that villain has in store
