One Day Is Not Enough

A poem for my wife on St Valentine's Day 2016

One day is not enough to say I love you.
Perhaps I should try and do.
But one day a year to say I love you,
Would not be enough, even with flowers, too.

One month is not enough to say I love you.
Even though there are cards and candy, too.
But one month only just won't do.
One month is not enough to say I love you.

One year is not enough to say I love you.
No, no; one year just won't do.
There's not enough time to show you.
One year is not enough to say I love you.

Maybe a lifetime might do.
Yes, maybe a lifetime will do.
Everyday, every way, to say I love you.
From our early days to all the way through.

If a lifetime isn't enough, there's eternity, too!
Time without ending, a n'er ending view,
A lifetime partnership, just us two.
An eternity of sharing, me saying I love you.

With all my heart, I love you.
Time and time again will do,
Everyday, every way, eternity through,
Time without ending, just to say I love you.

[ETERNITY]

THAT is a pretty meticulous poem! (Meticulous= showing great attention to detail; very careful and precise.)
And all it got was a smile?
IF I had a husband and he wrote THAT for me?
I'd fix his favorite meal AND dessert...ME!
You are a very thoughtful and considerate Poet. I did enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.

I like the part about saying I love you for all eternity.

We won't have marriages but love will abound.

Thanks for sharing.
