The Sweetest Thing, Five Things I love, CONTEST

The Sweetest Thing!

Isn't this the sweetest thing?

Be My Valentine

"Be My Valentine" it said,

Upon the arrowed heart of red,

 With its frill of paper lace,

Offered her with awkward grace.

He longed with tender words to show

He'd like to be her steady beau,

But all that he could do he found,

Was voice a muttered, stuttering sound.

Tubbed and scrubbed and polished neat,

From his cowlick to his feet,

He stood before her, heart in hand,

Trying to make her understand.

No words of love had she to say

Before she laughed and walked away.

For she was only half past four

And he was only one year more.

--Alice B. Johnson

I'll Love You Forever!

What makes a true husband?

• kindness. All men should be kind both to humans and animals. A huge plus!
• polite. Who doesn't love a man who uses manners like it's second nature to him? 
• a born champion of the underdog. True, it can get him in trouble, but it doesn't stop him.
• knows his own mind. Yeah, I love a man who doesn't have to follow the crowd. 
• well dressed. And I'm not saying expensive clothes. I'm saying, a man who dresses well whether he's working or playing.
• confident. A man who can handle situations and who is trustworthy when needed..
• thoughtful, even when busy. Who thinks to write love notes, or pass out a compliment, who picks wildflowers and still holds my hand.

Hubby Brown, I still love you and will . . . forever and forever.

Happy anniversary!
