My Little Golden Heart Poem by Lynne Howard

Tucked away in a tiny box
Except for once a year
My little golden heart
On Valentine's Day does appear

Gesture of love or friendship
A foundation on which to grow
Sometimes lost in translation
Just let the rhythm flow

Divided by two continents
A world so far apart
Distance can be an obstacle
In matters of the heart

So today I think of you
And shed a little tear
Returning my heart to its box
For yet another year
