Valentine’s Day

I dreamed a dream
And you were you
(but not exactly really)
Taller
Kinder
Funnier
Sweeter
And you were almost dead (in bed)
And I had come 
(with my new truck)
And it was Valentines Day
And you got up and said
Come on, I want to go and buy your Grandma a silver chain
And we toddled and wobbled to find my truck
(of course I had forgotten where it was parked)
And we got in
And you said
This is a pretty nice truck
And I am seen and loved and understood
And I see and love and understand


Grandpa

Billet-Doux

A billet-doux to you 
Beloved

To all those I’ve forgotten 
Hurt or neglected 

Over time and changing circumstance
And through my paucity of love

A billet-doux to you 

I’m grateful I had you in my life
For hours 
(long or short)

I’m sorry for our parting 

Through

Neglect
Or 
Offense 
(yours or mine)

I forgive you for your part
And I’m sorry for mine 

A billet-doux to you 
Beloved

Be well
Be well
Be well
