David Donald - Valentine
	As sweet as you are as long as you live I'll be around you with my heart to give And if ever your troubled and in need of a hug I'll hold you close and fill you with love So you needn't worry all your doubts I'll allay On this and all other Valentine days   ©David L. Donald 2004  Poetryarchives

Mary's Favorite Poem

When You are Old Wm. Butler Yeats (1865-1939) When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim Soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
