My Precious Valentine--By Pam Murray--Canada

My Precious Valentine

The rain in the eves is our love song
Echoing through the years
Full of the ups and downs of life
Voice of all hopes and fears.

I never felt your shadow,
Only a gentle hand
And words in my ear, with laughter
Never unfair demand.

Traveling a road at sunrise
Eager to climb each hill
Comparing notes at sunset
Wanting to have our fill

Of days that we shared together;
Oh how we danced along.
Oh how the world consumed us
Filling our hearts with song.

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Pam Murray has been writing poetry since the mid-1960’s.  She was married for over 41 years and has two daughters, a son-in-law, and a grandson.  Pam has been published in a variety of venues.  Her proudest writing accomplishment was a poem she wrote for a United Way fundraiser, which was later framed with a French translation and hung on the wall of the legislature in Ottawa, Canada.  To her, poetry is a transposition of a vision she sees in her mind.  Writing and crocheting are her passions.
