Ruby Valentine

My husband loved me writing for him and sorting out drawers I found he had kept this one.

Ruby Valentine

When we first got married, forty years ago
You had such thick dark wavy hair, tho’ now it will not grow
You were very studious, in fact you studied Freud
I was extra devious knew what subjects to avoid

You were always caring, endeavouring to please
I was quite a naughty lass, who was inclined to tease
You were very serious, I longed to hear your laughter
Now after years and years of work, I can’t say who is dafter

They said when we got married, our love wouldn’t last a year
Like a fleeting rainbow, it would quickly disappear
Although we have our spits and spats, sometimes enjoy a fight
I always know deep in my heart, that you are mister right

I value your opinions, you’re the best thing in my life
So happy Valentine today…….from your ever-loving wife.

I have always written poetry but when my husband died suddenly I used it as a kind of therapy. I don’t usually share these unless I feel they will help someone in distress. The ones I share are mostly humorous intended to bring a smile in what I feel can be a very lonely world... I have written four booklets and now a Corona chronicles which is just twelve poems writ while I am in jail...oh sorry I meant lockdown. Am on my way for a second booklet.. Trying to make folk smile and take a minutes release from these difficult times helps me forget my sight problems..
