Valentine

What more to wish than to be loved

When my husk dries and bones yellow
a lichen covered stone will proclaim,
to those that stop to read,
that the man who was and is no more
was a father, husband, son, brother, uncle.
But more, so much more, he was loved...

Author's Note

Every day our love should be expressed not once every 365!

This is perfect and says it all in well chosen words.

[Gee]

Thanks Ken, apologies for the very late reply. Hope all is well up North

[Ken Simm.]

Hope you are well also.

Succinct, to the point, makes sense and a hint more of us should follow.
Come to think of it, maybe i should forego the last bit of me saying it, which goes a little like this. "i love you..... Almost as much as cheesecake!" 😊
Hope you and yours are well Gee.

[Gee]

Thanks Lorry.
Hope you are well and the rain Gods north of the border are not constantly pissing on you as they are down here:))

Been dry(ish) today, but at least its not as bad as it has been, well until the next weather alert warning, which im sure will be soon but not enough to check the weather reports. The day they stop pretending they werent with the lsst report snd finslly figure out we remember even if they dont. But hey, it isnt that long until what passes as summer here! 😊

[Gee]

Yeahhhhhh, more rain:)

Gee!
Love the concept!
If I may? I think the tense should be "future"... "When my husk dries and bones yellow"...
and Things are "that," people are "who," "those who" and "the man who..."

[Gee]

Thanks Vol, all assistance welcomed.
Hope you are well
