Valentine's 2017 by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Valentine's 2017

Hold still and be clear
Don't put up a guise
I see that you're near
The realm of the wise

Your search for fulfillment
Has not gone unnoticed
Your struggled attempt
We felt and we saw this

And now you are shining
With inner elation
You've silvered the lining
With pride and intention

Your children, myself
We root for your cause
Don't give up the fight
Don't rewind or pause

It's only a matter
Of crossing the line
You've climbed up the ladder
You've put in the time

And this, your success
Is ours as well
And this, your distress
Together we'll quell

We'll strengthen your efforts
We'll lighten your load
Be our Valentine
And reap what you've sowed
