Valentine

by Cheryl Merrick
Delicate cards made from
lacy romantic hopes
slowly lose their fragileness
as years of sharing,
supporting and growing
temper our love into
something strong enough 
to withstand even the gales
of catastrophic illness
and endure forever.

Written during our 50th year of marriage after a year fighting stage 3 ovarian cancer which is now in remission.
