Happy Valentine's Day!!!

The Pocket Poem
by Ted Kooser

If this comes creased and creased again and soiled
as if I'd opened it a thousand times
to see if what I'd written here was right,
it's all because I looked too long for you
to put in your pocket. Midnight says
the little gifts of loneliness come wrapped
by nervous fingers. What I wanted this
to say was that I want to be so close
that when you find it, it is warm from me.

You can thank Carol: Rosie & Mr. Fun for this. I have been reading her Valentine's poems by Mr. Kooser and have so enjoyed them, I had to find some for myself.

The hubby cooked a very special dinner for me and as he knows I love them, beautiful flowers.

Wishing all of you much love and laughter in your life.
