Trudy’s Valentine❤️

She was on edge and apprehensive when she heard the Postman’s van
Tho she tried her best to hide fer feelings Trudy loved her man
Today of all days she had to be so discreet
but as soon as the letter box opened she was up off the seat
Her folks never said anything at all
Yet they knew very well Trudy was watching the hall
The hallway led to the front door in the house
and Trudy hid around the corner as quiet as a mouse

So the Postman whistled as he walked up the garden path
Mam and Dad did their utmost not to laugh
There was their youngest daughter 
her cheeks rosy red
She had paced back and forth since she got out of bed
Trudy had waited for this day for a very long time
Would Tommy her true love write her a rhyme ?
As two letters dropped to the floor Trudy ran as fast as she could to that front foor
‘Miss T. Makepiece’ one of the envelopes read
“Oh my God” thought Trudy in her head

She hid her letter under her top
then went into her bedroom and lay on the bed with a flop
Would it be what she had wanted?
Did Trudy dare take a look?
As she clandestinely hid it in her reading book
Well she couldn’t wait any longer
There was noone around as she stood up and shut her door without making a sound
Trudy held her breath and slowly slid a card from the envelope
“Yes it was a valentine card”
Her heart was bursting she could hardly cope

“Roses come in many colours but the one I give to you..
Is as red as a bleeding heart that is honest and true..
I love you in the sunshine with your freckles on your nose
and in the pouring rain when you soak your clothes..
Please Trudy Makepiece will you be mine
My special sweetheart and valentine”
Trudy was lost in a moment with a teardrop rolling down her cheek
She knew then Tommy loved her and it made her weak
