Good morning, Roy

Enjoyed the poem and I'm out of 6's. Fitting tribute to one's enduring love, of one's passion of being in love

The following stanza was my favorite:

The crocus blooms in winter's gloom,
thus love withstands the face of doom.
When souls agree, entwined, become --
two hearts that beat in time as one.

Take care and stay safe,

Ray

This is a lovely traditional poem on the mature love that dies to regain itself
in glory in your lines / dies to self, reveals God's face./ and / not subject to time's cruel clock/ is a masterful ending.

A heartfelt Valentine message to your beloved wife goes beyond the "you've stood with me through thick and thin" sentiment and defines love through flower metaphors. Love's a hardy thing when it's allowed to grow and mature. Excellent work, Roy. :) Nancy

I don't think I've read a love poem on this site that moved me more, Roy - what a precious verse you've written, so full of wisdom and overflowing esteem, love, joy in another - God bless you both - I hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful!

Yes, Roy, this poem will do. It is enchanting. I am sure that your wife is particularly moved by this tribute. You pour out your heart in every poem. Because it is Valentine's day, your poem is particularly apt. Thank you.

This is what I would call an excellent Valentine's Day poem. I like all of the elements of it and how well you describe everything. It has a clear message in it about the Lord and you also acknowledge and compliment your wife. I'm sure that she's very pleased with you writing this. Well done.

Oh, how sweet. If my hubby ever wrote a poem for me, I would faint. Your wife will love this. I wonder if she has a valentine for you. Or maybe something even better? :)
