My You

For a while I have been thinking about my Valentine’s post.
What opera character should I devote it to? Which of the oepra characters was the most loving, the most selfless, the most deserving of love? Could it be Violetta? Eurydice? Angelina? Gilda? Antonia? Or maybe the ever-mesmerizing Morgana?
And you know what I thought?
No opera characters today!

This post will be a poem, a Valentine, if you will, that I wrote for my son Troy, the kindest, most deserving and most selfless boy I know.

My You

We used to be one whole One
And now we are Two.
I’ll never be alone again
Because I have my You.
And even when you are away
And cry – I will feel blue,
But if you laugh – I’ll crack a joke
And end up laughing too.
If you should call for me at night
I’ll wake up and I’ll come.
For in the dark and in the light
Somehow we are still One.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
God bless the unbreakable, solid and monolith Love for our children!
