VALUE OF LOVE--award winner

VALUE OF LOVE



You are yet with me my love,
Though you be far away.
In my thoughts and in my heart,
You’re with me night and day.

You are ever in my eye,
Your photo, I don’t need;
Your words do ring in my ears,
Letters I need not read.

I still have what you gave me,
Love and pain, a few tears;
I can’t forget you although
It has been seven years.

What an irony, your love
I never did value;
Having lost you for ever,
I’m now thoughtful of you!
