Love Poem

This short poem was in the folder I have of Dad's poems.

Since Valentine's Day is on the horizon I include it here. Jim loves his wife Emily so much. Even though they bicker and fight this poem expresses his deep love for her.

LOVE

Antique Darling, I love you with fumbling delight

As I strip off vanity and greed in the night.

Let us pretend our love is eternal

While time peels our life to the heart's kernel.
