FROM YOUR PARENTS (Poem #537) (A Greeting Card)

Jean Gorney

No matter how old we get
 We can still be sweethearts
 So don't forget your honey
 And fill up their loving carts
 We may have moved to Florida
 But we'll never give up
 On being a loving parent
 No matter where we sup
 Our home is filled with reminders
 Of how sweet we know you are
 Always and this Valentine's Day
 You are our shining star

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
