Memory's Gaze

On Valentine’s Day

Back when I was a kid,

This, I recall, is

What my father did.

 

He brought me a heart

Filled with chocolates inside

And chocolate cigars

He’d my brothers provide.

 

I guess for my mom

There was candy as well,

But that wasn’t something

On which I would dwell.

 

A gift from my dad

Was a rare kind of treat

Which, to memory’s gaze,

Still remains very sweet.
