Re: Valentines Day Love Story Contest.

My Bobby, Boca Bob, entered this contest and wrote something that made my heart skip a beat - or two - (or more)... so I decided to try and beat him with a poem that I wrote for him for our 30th anniversary.... We will celebrate our 50th on the 25th of this month and I'm still feeling the same way about him... maybe even love him more !!!

To Bobby
I saw him there with a tear in his eye -
And I wondered what could make him cry..
This man of steel - my rock of Gibraltar..
My leaning post since we faced the alter.
At that very moment - I loved him so..
My greatest fear, would be letting him go..
Sometimes it's hard to understand -
The inner thoughts of this wonderful man..
Throughout the years, I've come to know -
The depth of his feelings - that he seldom shows.
His character is strong - His logic is fair....
He stands up for what's right - He does more than his share..
He expects from others, what he generously gives -
And by these principles, he always lives..
My words are inadequate, when I try to say -
What he's meant to my life in every way..
If sometimes I happen to be sad -
or have a reason to cry -
He's always there to hold me close -
and wipe the tear from my eye..
We've shared our years, hand in hand -
and have faced the world as one...
We've had our days in the shadows -
and we've had our days in the sun..
Throughout this time, I think I've learned -
just how he feels for me..
And why he has that tear in his eye -
is pretty easy to see...
The tears are for the days ahead -
and the loneliness we will feel -
When one of us must go away -
and the others heart must heal..
So now I spend each day of my life -
just floating on a cloud..
Wanting to scribble my love in the sand -
Wanting to sing it out loud...
He plays his guitar - He sings a song...
He brings me happiness - He makes me strong...
His picture stands out on my window sill -
like the center of my soul...
I have no doubt, it will always be there -
as the rest of our lives unfold.....

I love you Bobby,
Cissie
