Valentine Poem by Sandra Hillawi

My love is far and out of sight
As I sit and contemplate this night
Of all the forces strong and weak
That thwart our love e’en as we speak

But though my love is far away
Still in my heart, still to this day,
The fire of love burns bright and strong
And will e’en though the wait is long

For no man e’er could take his place
This man of dignity and grace
My heart is given for all time
To you my love my Valentine
