Imagine my surprise when I discovered a love poem while turning the pages of my second-hand book, "For the Love of God." Reading it brought tears to my eyes.
This is what it said:
(Dated 2-7-03)
(Illustration of a heart with the words I love you, O.V. below)
*Aside: Am not really sure if the initials are O.V. ... they could be D.J... the
handwriting is a bit messy
I love you divinely
Divine Valentine
You're the apple of my spiritual eye
Your pumpkin-colored robe of the sky
Tells me you hear
Tells me you're near
Tells me, my dear
I love you divinely too
No one compares
No one dares
My heart is yours forever
Hmmm... come to think of it, it could be addressed to Jesus! Or God! :)
Regardless of whom it's meant for, I was deeply touched by the poem. I wonder whatever happened to its author. There's no name on the book's cover.
Hehe. What a pleasant surprise. :)
I love the poem, it's so touching.. :)
ReplyDeletecooool.. :)

ReplyDeleteMika: Makes one think of inserting a letter amidst the pages of a book... meant to be found and read by your grandchildren dozens of years later.
Kim: Henyo! I didn't think of it. *thumps head with a book* "Divine Valentine." You're right!
