Heavenly Valentine--By Robert Hewett Sr.--United States

Heavenly Valentine

Floating on fluffy clouds of cotton hue
You are my joyous nightly dream come true.
You fill my mind and heart with happy thoughts
A web of heavenly weave I am caught.
Let's climb the rainbow and look for the end,
Golden or not, the rainbow is our friend.
Let’s play and skip and stroll and stay all day
Skipping along the endless Milky Way.
We will hitch a ride on a falling star
Returning to Earth better off by far.
Lend your loving heart to me forever
Be MY True Valentine, leave me never.

Robert Hewett Sr. was born in 1933 on a Texas cotton farm. He moved to Oklahoma City at Age 14 and entered the U. S Army from there in 1953. Robert has been writing poetry and short stories for his family and himself since his teen years, but is just now publishing his collection of works. His hobbies include writing poetry and stories; clock and watch collections; gardening and growing flowers and shrubs from cuttings. Most of his poetry tells a story, a gift from his father who was a master story teller. He has received numerous awards for his work in his professional life and for his writing.

  3. Hi, Bob, I really like your poem sonnet. There seems to be times when it is all hard to properly balance and flow but you are successful. I also love the playful imagery which could be felt only by one who knows or has known a deep and passionate love affair! Very precious - makes me wanna go and HUG you both! Sheri

  4. How wonderful would it be to fly along the Milky Way with your loved one. You know I am a hopeless romantic, and I couldn't help but smile as I read your poem. Lovely, romantic, and any woman would be a fool NOT to be your valentine! Kristina

  5. Dear Robert,
    The title made me think of my late husband and I imagined doing all these things (climbing the rainbows and skipping along the Milky Way) with him. Thank you for reminding me that even though he is gone now, he will always be my valentine. Very touching! Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire

    1. Your comment is the best reward a writer can get. I am so glad it brought back happy times and helped you picture him among the stars where he waits for you to join him some day. If I brightened your day just a little it is a wonderful feeling for me. Bob

  6. Dear Robert - I am sorry I missed this one. Your words are endearing and easy to read. Valentine's Day was never really celebrated during my life so I don't have any memories. I wish I had some happy memories of days gone by with a love - but, I don't so I will enjoy reading about others. Nice poetry...
