Valentine's Day Poem (circa 2000)

With this being the month of Valentine's Day I thought I would share a poem I wrote 11 years ago.  It was a special day when I wrote this because we were on the verge of knowing whether our second child was going to be a girl or a boy.  Man, how time flies!

FIRST LOOK

From that first look in your eyes

My heart melted inside

'Cause I knew you were the only one;

With one look at your face

Such beauty and grace

My search for love was done.

When I first felt your hair

How will I ever dare

Ask for your hand in mine;

But as time grew on

And our love got strong

I knew it was finally time.

As we walked the isle

It seemed like a mile

Before we vowed to be king and queen;

Still to this day

I pinch myself and say

"Thank God it wasn't only a dream."

With one look at your smile

My emotions went wild

When the next step finally came;

We brought into this world

A beautiful baby girl

And we gave her the perfect name.

Now at the dawn of the day

We'll find out either way

What our next angel will be;

Whether a girl or boy

My heart is filled with joy

Knowing only time will see.

Through all the trials of life

You'll always be my wife

No matter what else is to come our way;

As time sees us through

I'll always love you

And make everyday Valentine's Day.
