His Name Was Valentine
Your image faded through the years
I trace each line and furrow
Among your family there you stand
Unaware of tomorrow, tomorrow.

We seem to have a mutual poetic connection even though we are an ocean apart. Thank you so much. Best wishes, Susan
Hello Ann,
Thank you again for your kind and encouraging words. I dedicated this poem to my dearest father who passed away at the age of 98. You are NOT elderly! Best wishes from across the way. Susan
Hello fellow Lake Erie boater. I am thankful for your note. I know my poetry is very elementary, but I always try to base it on some personal experience. The Mentor Yacht Club is so beautiful. I have been there, but I have never sailed on a Tartan 41. What a beautiful yacht. It sounds like you are quite the veteran sailor and brave to be that far off shore. We know how unpredictable Lake Erie can be, especially before the days of cell phones and instant radar. The fact that my simple poem brought you some joy on a difficult day encourages me to continue writing. Thank you for reading it and for sharing your Lake Erie adventures with me.
