To my husband:
We met 44 years ago,
hooked up at the Valentine's Dance.
Your date showed up a bit too late.
(Boo hoo.) She blew it...missed her chance.
But that's okay. Yes, that's all right.
Cuz I sure made the most of mine.
I'm 60 and you're 62.
But you still make my stars align.
Hoo-wee! You're one hot valentine!!

For my mom:
My mother loves me oh-so-well.
I love her more than words can tell.
She's 85 and going strong.
Her gifts to me have been lifelong.
Of mothering, she made an art.
Mom taught me how to use my heart.
She raised me up and set me free
to be the best that I could be.
(Her secret? She believed in me.)
∞§∞
Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
I surely did.
And lots of love to my kids and grandkids, too!

Super fun poems made with love! I'm so glad I still have my Mom around too..she'll be 87 in May!
You are not only so blessed to still have your Mom with you, but what a wonderful woman she is!
Moms are always giving, aren't they/ Love you work!
Loved the poems. :)
Wonderful and loving post ~ what a tribute to your marriage ~ Many more lovely years together ~ how blessed you are ^_^
Super cute! Loved it!
Hi Sue! What a sweet story about you and the mister. And I can say the same thing about my own mom!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Oh my, you mom is going to treasure that ode to her mothering skills! And I love the story of you snatching your beau from the clutches of another. Pays to be on time, I guess... I'm sure things turned out how they were supposed to.
Aw, i love how much in love you and Dave still are. It is so tender and sweet.
And what a lovely tribute to your mother.
I loved those two little valentine offerings. I think we have more than a few things in common when I read something like this.
Oh, that's nice ! I met Mr. G. 45 years ago and 44 years we are married ! What a long time when I think it over, lol !
Holy moly. I wish someone made custom Valentines for me! Didn't people used to do this more often in the 'old days'? I like that tradition.
Loved the poems - superb as always!
She's two times a winner!
I loved both of these! Especially the part about the date being late! ;) Great story!
Your mom sounds like mine. We are so blessed, aren't we?
What lovely valentine tributes!
Ah Sue, those poems are so sweet....I really thought the one to Dave was spot on. He is such a treasure. But oh, the one about me was so wonderful...I will love that one forever. Thank you so much....so sorry I have been so long to read it. We have both been a bit lax in reading blogs, or even being on the computer, in my case. Dick just read yours tonight and told me I just had to come in and read the two blogs of yours I had missed. I can see why he was so adamant that I do it now. Thanks once again. It brought me up, as I have been feeling pretty low the last few days. I love you so much.
Totally inspired by your Valentines . . . I'm going to have to try harder next year :)

Wow, I loved these two Love poems. I can tell that your Mother was an awesome one. I certainly have grown to love you both.
Wonderful poems for today.
Blessings!
Awwww...Mr. Sue lucked out when he landed you!
Such a beautiful pair of Valentines!
You have the magic touch in word crafting!
Thanks for sharing it.
A+
