Valentine

What more to wish than to be loved

When my husk dries and bones yellow
a lichen covered stone will proclaim,
to those that stop to read,
that the man who was and is no more
was a father, husband, son, brother, uncle.
But more, so much more, he was loved...

Author's Note

Every day our love should be expressed not once every 365!

Hi Gee, hope you are doing well, it was like not i thought of you, you are looking more as caring i can feel when i read your writings, i saw them in those eyes and hands caring. no one is aged, its in your heart how you feel, i think it should be future, we celebrate each and evry day making people feel cared is all a loving daughter or a wife or a mother or a woman entirely through her life does, and man recognizes and rewards her as her lady.

jessy here,
with love,
take care of yourself and everyone too.

[Gee]

Thank you kindly

Very rare people understands the meaning of true love. You're correct love is all about falling in love with the same person every time and way more than 365 days! Your valentine is deep and wondrous to read in comparison to my valentine prose.

[Gee]

Thank you sir

Beautiful! Love is everything. You have always known how to say that - without melodrama but with all your heart. Smiles and blessing for you and your darling ladies.

[Gee]

Belated thanks m'dear

The human version of love and remembrance is probably a primary reason why the species survived through the last ice age. Very few species are cognizant of "personal" loss and tragedy. The death response is rare in the animal kingdom... most animals are absolutely ruthless. I fear that the humans around me are losing empathy en masse.

A lovely tribute to your father on Valentine's Day....seems like he was
renaissance man....and that he loved his family as much a you loved him....
Warmly, B

[Ken Simm.]

This is perfect and says it all in well chosen words.

[Gee]

Thanks Ken, apologies for the very late reply. Hope all is well up North

[Ken Simm.]

Hope you are well also.

Succinct, to the point, makes sense and a hint more of us should follow.
Come to think of it, maybe i should forego the last bit of me saying it, which goes a little like this. "i love you..... Almost as much as cheesecake!" 😊
Hope you and yours are well Gee.

[Gee]

Thanks Lorry.
Hope you are well and the rain Gods north of the border are not constantly pissing on you as they are down here:))

Been dry(ish) today, but at least its not as bad as it has been, well until the next weather alert warning, which im sure will be soon but not enough to check the weather reports. The day they stop pretending they werent with the lsst report snd finslly figure out we remember even if they dont. But hey, it isnt that long until what passes as summer here! 😊

[Gee]

Yeahhhhhh, more rain:)

[Vol]

Gee!
Love the concept!
If I may? I think the tense should be "future"... "When my husk dries and bones yellow"...
and Things are "that," people are "who," "those who" and "the man who..."

[Gee]

Thanks Vol, all assistance welcomed.
Hope you are well

[Gee]
