Charlene’s Valentine
Charlene's Valentine
by Londis Carpenter
I searched and searched the whole world wide
For treasures only God could hide,
With hope that one I might compare
To all that makes you dear and fair.
I searched the world and sought to find
A treasure rare, one of a kind,
I searched in caverns, dark and bleak,
Thinking to find a thing unique,
Something to match this love of mine,
To offer as a valentine.
I searched afar, the mountains high,
The prairies wide, the deserts dry.
I sailed the ocean and the sea . . .
Found not one thing to equal thee.
Scarce chocolates, nor valued wine
Could ever match this love of mine.
Earth’s fairest gem, a rainbow’s hue,
A forest glen . . . mere hints of you!
No flower, sucking nature’s breast,
Would dare compare to heaven’s best.
These precious things cannot portray
The message my heart would convey.
Alas! I’m left with humble rhyme
To proffer as my valentine.
