Precious Love

by Dick Waters

I don’t know how much time I have left.

However, you make every one of those days truly special.

 

When we were in the fourth grade, I was too young to recognize what my life could be with you.

You’re right to call me a slow learner!

 

Well, we did graduate together, but before we did, we went to the junior prom together.

That was the first night I understood what it was like to hold you in my arms.

 

We both went our own paths, with marriages and family of our own.

However, God knew more than we did, because he kept us in touch with each other.

 

It took me years to ask you to marry me.

Thank you for not holding all those years against me.

 

Now every day is cherished, since our marriage ninety-eight months ago.

I’ll take being a slow learner as my reward is getting to hold you in my arms every day.

 

You are more than my Valentine –

My heart is bonded to yours by such a precious Love!

 

Now you know why I say in your ear every night…

“I Love You Precious!”
