My First Valentine

I am a girl who loves romance

The chocolate, the flowers, and learning to dance

Eyes alight as in a trance

—I look for my First Valentine

I search for it in places of love

The feeling that makes me fly like a dove

And ask for guidance from God above

—To help me find my First Valentine

In surprise, this quest

Leads me to the very best

The shoulder on whom my head does rest

—The man who is my First Valentine

He was not the one I sought

A deeper love, or so I thought

When with surprise my heart was caught

—In the arms of my First Valentine

Daddy has always been there for me

Even the days I could not see

He has always held my heart's key

—The man who is my First Valentine

Blinded by what I thought

Into a lie I had bought

But even in the mess I wrought

—I found my First Valentine

My heart is safe in Daddy's hands

Until I get my weddings bands

And at my side my husband stands

—To become my Valentine

But Daddy shall always be the first

For his love I do thirst

I feel as if my heart shall burst

—In love for my First Valentine
