To Make You Mine
- To Make You Mine -
A Valentine’s Day Poem
I promised Heaven I would find a way to make you mine,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the very longest time.
I thought about all the things that people might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with a rhyme.
Flowers are so beautiful, but in time the petals might fade,
And that would leave you sad, and wanting for their shade.
I thought that might make you unhappy, and so I was afraid!
Then at last I created a poem that, just for you, was made.
Candies can be tasty, but when you eat them they are gone,
And that would leave you hungry, with a face sad and long.
I thought about how I’d cheer you, and it hit me very strong!
I realized a poem would last forever, and sing just like a song.
Jewelry can be lovely, but soon it tarnishes with aging glow,
And that would leave you gloomy, with nothing left to show.
I thought that would be a poor way to see how well I know,
That what you want is this poem, with words that ever flow.
I promised Heaven I would please you this Valentine’s Day,
And so I pondered with my heart, for the most special way.
I thought about all the gifts that such a girl might call sublime,
But at last I decided that I would present you with this rhyme.

I remember how I penned this originally with the intent to give it to the right someone when I finally found her, but upon thinking on it I felt it would be far more appropriate to unchain this poem from any one specific anchor and allow it to soar free and touch any hearts that it may with its' tender sweetness. As it touched yours, evidently! *Wink* ;)
