I remember Dear the day we wed, way back in forty nine, the times are very changed since then, when we pledged sweet love sublime. The love light shining in your eyes, proclaiming you were mine, and you still have held your beauty rare, my dearest Valentine. Life was not always easy, though the real bad times were few, the golden years we have spent together, are surely due to you. with that caring and unselfish love, within your heart abiding, ‘tis clear St. Valentine from above over our love was presiding. But one time that I will not forget, now just eight years ago, when my survival odds were slim - just a few days left to go. But praise the Lord and eternal thanks to the surgeons in the Mater for the open-heart guadruple job - Valentine’s Day just three days after. That saint who loves true lovers, surely put a word in too and young at heart again on his special day, I say “darling, I love you”.
