Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Valentine

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Valentine 💝

He calls me angel for thee,
I gave him another three,
Two girls balanced by a boy, that be
Hearts that are intertwined with me
And need greater space than the tiny heart in me.

My valentine keeps me lively,
On my toes, thinking compassionately
Of his needs, comfort completely
Incorporated into my routine, daily
Trying to accommodate them freely.

As we dance rhythmically
All worries melt away, elegantly
As our arms are our cauldron that empty
Into hearts overflowing of peacefully
Ingrained and growing love decimating all worry.

Certificate of Excellence/ Valentine Special: Betrayal, My Love

Betrayal

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain. ….

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand. ….

Certificate of Excellence, My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate, understanding In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Five times a week

How often do you walk or run?

I walk almost daily. It’s one way for me I de-stress and stay physically fit. At my age, running isn’t recommended, but I do speed walk and do at least 5 kilometers. When I walk with my husband, the walk becomes a 10Km fast paced walk! Yep, he had to train me, slowly but surely, to reach that goal. I can’t thank him enough for his support.
