A Valentine to My Wife - Eugene Field

A Valentine to My Wife

Accept, dear girl, this little token,
And if between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spokenõ?"
The love my dying lips shall speak.

Our little ones are making merry
O'er am'rous ***ties rhymed in jest,
But in these words (though awkwardõ?"very)
The genuine article's expressed.

You are as fair and sweet and tender,
Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
As when, a callow youth and slender,
I asked to be your Valentine.

What though these years of ours be fleeting?
What though the years of youth be flown?
I'll mock old Tempus with repeating,
"I love my love and her alone!"

And when I fall before his reaping,
And when my stuttering speech is dumb,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that it waits for you to come.

So take, dear love, this little token,
And if there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'd fain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your Valentine?

Does your wife read that poem. I like a lot to hear her comment.
Please! Mr. Nha que, show me how can I make a poem in English. Is this impossible for me?
