Happy Valentine's Day

The first letter of each line........

Highs and Lows, a very part of life they seem,
And yet highs & highs only, in my life there has been,
Peers are often prone to suspect, but that chance I no more got,
Poor was I in probity too; in due time such vices I forgot,
You are the reason for all this my dear, yes you're the reason for all.

Valiant and ferocious when it came to protect,
Affable and austere when I craved comfort and & respect,
Leaving each other's past behind, leaving all other hate,
Ennui never encouraged, you became my perfect mate,
Nights of comforting rests you gave,
Times many of cherishable memories were saved,
In my heart the flood gates had been closed,
Never had I thought they could open the way you showed,
Everyday little by little, the rock melted into lava sans strife,
Since you cam into my life oh my dear, since you came into my life.

Days have gone by, many more days still remain,
A hope in my heart so always booms, that together we can assuage all & any disdain,
You are that reason for all hopes my dear, yes you are that reason and I pray will always be.
