Happy Valentine’s Day! Love – A Poem


For Annamarie…

Love-
An emotion that glows in our hearts
It symbolizes commitment and compromise
Two individual people joined as one
on a windy road to eternal bliss under the sun
Life’s challenges can steer a wavering course
Inundated by stormy wind-swept waves
our love for each other shines above with sun drenched rays
Despite the dark clouds of pain and uncertainty
a vibrant rainbow arches across a bright sky
Revealing a warm tropical day
Free of doubt and remorse
Full of prosperity and love
Peace and happiness shower us from above
Twelve years ago we married and became one
My reasons for asking for your hand
have not altered once –
You are the root of my passion and desire
Trust reflects from your soft, warm eyes
Friendship and compassion exude through your affectionate smile
Another year has passed and here we are:
Together forever…
A constant wind carries our everlasting love
Sweeping us off our feet as we breathe in the February air
As light fades to dusk
We stand hand in hand
On a beach we hold close to our hearts
Deciphering the riddles drawn in the sand
John C. Bader
