First Valentine's Day

February 14, 2025 — 7:42pm

Dear Reese,

You help turn the pages, gently 
Sniffling and tired-eyed at bedtime 
And I think – how lucky am I that you are mine
And that I am yours

For my whole life, I am yours

I’ve taken vows before 
But none as sacred as this one I make to you
You are my love, through and through 

Love,

Mama
