Valentine Heart

People say they give their hearts away
At the first date or kiss
During the nuptial vows
But I give my heart to you
Day by day
Moment by moment
Because love does not stop giving
It does stop growing or living
Just as we do —
I love you

Sunshine

The sun greets me like a lover
With a warm hand
And the soft assurance
That I am perfect in silence
In sickness and in health
It demands of me nothing but presence
And gives patience in return

Kindness

Two frightened souls meet
Wanting to give without greed
Kindness sans envy
