Hopelessly Romantic
Nadine Gardner
Are we hopelessly romantic,
Just two sentimental fools?
We, according to our modern friends,
We’re breaking all the rules.
Still adoring lighted candles
On the table while we dine:
We’ve never lost our preference for
Those songs from ’49.
On sunny days in August,
On a picnic by the stream,
We sit for endless hours
Sharing secret hopes and dreams.
On starry nights in April,
You and I walk hand in hand
To that bridge where, thirty years ago,
Our wedding day we planned.
In my personal opinion
Hopeless fools we never were;
Though some may still maintain the
thought,
They’re wrong, of that I’m sure.
But, yes, we’re sentimental,
Quite romantically inclined,
And in my heart you’ll always be
My favorite valentine.
