TO EDDIE

Dear Valentine, I owe my heart
To you and you alone.
You brought me from a cold despair
When I felt hope was gone.
You showed me how to live again
And gave me love unmatched,
Delivered free from your sweet soul,
No binding strings attached.
I thank you for the gift you are,
A friend, my love and more.
I’m glad that time gave us a chance
To open up the door.
