Valentines Day Poetry Contest Submission: Carlyn Winters, 9th

February 5, 2014
Inviting – exciting – emotion
With power I had never known,
A world of unchanged devotion
Because you were my very own.
Together we sailed in springtime
To an isle beyond seas of blue,
And when we returned,
A new life was waiting
In a valley of dreams.
I’ve seen you a million times
And every time I see you
I fall in love with you all over again.
My heart starts to race,
My frown turns into a smile,
And now all my worries are in the past.
When you smile at me,
My heart melts.
You give the sweetest hugs,
Your smile is like a new day.
You’re the first thing I think of
Every morning I awake.
You’re the last thing I think of
Every night after I’ve finished the day.
You’re in every thought I have
And every breath I take.
The feelings I have are growing stronger
With every move I make.
I have to prove I love you,
But that’s the hardest part.
So I’m giving all I have to give…
To you, I give my heart.
And as I write,
I’ll sing this song.
And thank God
For the love I’ve come to know.
Over and Over,
I prayed to God for a love so true.
Now I realize,
He already knew.
He blessed me with something so wonderful…
He blessed me with you.
I see your shadow,
As I lay myself to sleep.
Dreams of you, oh so sweet.
In my heart I will keep.
A Valentine’s Day Poem
Look into my heart, my life.
Tell me, what do you see?
Much joy and happiness you brought me?
If I had to live life again,
I’d live it with you.
My lover, my best friend,
Always and forever, I’ll love you until the end.
