Happy Valentine's Day To All!

How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways.

I love your smile

That warms me

Like a Mediterranean sun.

I love your humor,

Sharp and witty.

I love your mind,

(Yes, Ray, I do!)

Quick and bright,

Like quicksilver.

I love your heart,

So kind and gentle,

So sweet and loving.

I love your generosity.

You give of

Your time,

Your energy...

Yourself.

Oh, Ray, Ray, Ray!

You've made life

Bearable

In this strange city,

And now I can

Appreciate

Your love

Of this place.

I love your slender power,

Your movements graceful.

I love your elegant hands,

That know so well

How to pleasure me.

I love your beautiful eyes,

Emeralds that sparkle;

Jewels of the soul.

You have my

Heart,

Body,

Soul.

As I have

Yours,

Beloved.

On this day

Dedicated to lovers,

I love you, Ray.
