carol jeanne,
Will Mr. Keillor be doing Valentine's dedications again this year? If so, I would like to submit a poem.

Valentine

Come and sit beside me.
Tell me that you love me.
Talk to me for hours,
show me all your dreams.

You're my solid anchor.
You're my voice of reason.
You hold my world together
when it's tearing at the seams.

With your arms around me,
I'm as good as others;
they're my mighty fortress,
they hold out all my fears.

I know I don't deserve you,
but oh how much I need you.
If I were to lose you,
I'd give my life away.

So say you'll never leave me,
you always will receive me.
Each night you will restore me
to face another day.

With your arms around me,
with your love inside me,
knowing that you trust me,
how could I ever fail?

- coleman
