Would you cross your heart?
Or, would you cross your fingers?
Would you forever be my Valentine?
As long as our love still lingers

Would you tell me you love me?
Would you seal it with a kiss?
Now, could you do that one more time?
In case there was something I missed?

Would you accept my card,
That I selected just for you?
Just a sign of my love!
I pray that you like it too!

Would you bring on that smile?
That lights up your precious face
And those star sparkling eyes
Are just reflections sent from Grace

Would you be my Valentine?
Could we share our love?
Am I feeling the butterflies?
Or it is it beating from love doves?

PLEASE SAY YOU’LL BE MY VALENTINE

Music © Yuko Ohigashi

Some love is just passing
on to someone new
Our love is enduring
all that we’ve been through

Some love lasts a moment
a fancy of the mind
Our love will last forever
it’s the lifetime kind

Our yesterdays are over
our tomorrows will in time
Our today is filled with love
My forever Valentine!

Forever Yours, My Love.

Be my Valentine love
Made in heaven above

It’s just so divine
My heart beat climbs

Love through the night
Our love so right.

Kisses sweet as wine
Tingles up my spine

You hold me tight
My temperature spikes

Love you so much
Tremble at your touch

As your sweet lips
Brush my finger tips

Kiss me softly, please
Softer than a breeze

I feel so blessed
I have your best

My heart stands still
Oh what a thrill

My heart takes flight
Our love so right

Be my Valentine
Be mine all the time

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Music © Bernd Krueger

This special thought, I send you,
For all the world to see;
Just a little memo
Of what you mean to me.

Your kindness and your gentle tone
With me you always share.
I know within your loving heart
That you for me do care.

And though, I don’t say it often…
I Love You all the time,
So now I’m asking simply….
Won’t You BE MY VALENTINE?

I’m giving you this rose
With some words I’d like to say
Like how much I love you
On this Valentine’s Day

I hope that this finds you
With love in your heart
And you’ll always remember me
When ever we’re apart

May this single little rose
Bring a smile upon your face
And wipe away the sadness
Leaving it without a trace

May our hearts stay connected
Through good times and through bad
May our love lift your spirits
On days your feeling sad

Take this single rose
Hold it pressed against your chest
And You’ll find of all the feelings
That love tops as the best

With that rose to your chest
And that smile upon your face
My dear there is no doubt
That our love rose from grace

See the beauty as love surrounds us
Notice the peace that also abounds
Feel the tranquility in all of its uniqueness
In the air and upon the grounds.

People walking along side by side
Many others walking hand in hand
A pleasant gait pursuing a stride
Opening up avenues to expand.

Smiling faces sends pleasant sensations
To those who feel that this is a must
It produces all kinds of elation
Gathers in an everlasting trust.

A love comes from deep in the heart
Splendid and vivid it is so fine
Unconditionally it becomes impart
Can only be described as being divine.

When you are around
I feel I can take on the
World

When you speak
I Feel every word you
Speak

When you move
I feel every movement
You make

When you touch my hand
I feel that I can fly or just
Go on for miles

When your heart beats
I feel everyone of your
Heartbreaks

When you laugh
I can hear the tension in
Your voice

When you leave
my heart anticipates
The moment you will return

Love… in Sickness & in Health

The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver and, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat he’d told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, 34, became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. And all she had to cling to was her husband, Mark.

Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.

Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan, and fulfilled Mark’s need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task. Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn’t working. Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he admitted to himself. But she was still so fragile, so angry how would she react?

Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. “I’m blind!” she responded bitterly. “How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you’re abandoning me.”

Mark’s heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.

And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.

Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus-riding companion, her husband, and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… Each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it! She was going to work all by herself.

On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, “Boy, I sure do envy you. “

Susan wasn’t sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that you envy me?”

The driver responded, “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are.”

Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and again asked, “What do you mean?”

The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week, a fine-looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you as you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building.

Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky lady.”
