VALENTINE DAY February 14, 2014 (Ode to a Boy) (c) By Polly Guerin



WHAT IS THIS TALK ABOUT LOVE SENDING CUPID’S KISSES FROM ABOVE?

HAVE WE NO WORTHIER ROMANTIC TOPICS
THAN FUTURE EMBRACES IN PLACES EXOTIC?

LOVE COMES IN DIFFERENT GUISES
MAKES OUR HEART SOFTER, WISER

A BABY’S SMILE MELTS ONE’S RESERVE
BUT FALLING LOVE TAKES NERVE

FRIENDSHIP SLINGS ITS BOW AND ARROW
PIERCES YEARS WITH JOY AND SORROW

LOVE CAN CONQUER WORLD STRIFE
BRINGS HARMONY, RENEWS LIFE

IF YOU BUT KNEW I DREAMED OF YOU
EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE TWENTY- TWO

HOW COULD YOU GUESS MY HAPPINESS
I GAVE ALL AND NOTHING TO DIGRESS

I OFTEN HEAR YOU WHEN OTHERS SPEAK
THE SILENT HOURS GO BY WEEK BY WEEK

HOW ALL MY DAYS SEEMED DREAMS OF YOU
AND YET, I PONDER IF YOU EVER KNEW

SOMETIMES IN THE DAYDREAM FLIGHT
I REMEMBER YOU IN THE TENDER NIGHT

WITH GRATITUDE I CHERISH THE MEMORY
EVEN NOW WHEN I AM ALONE AND FREE

I HAVE NO REMORSE BUT INFINITE JOY
RECALLING WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE BOY.
