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 truly 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 door in hall

The hallway led to the front door in the house

And Trudy hid around the corner, as quiet as a little 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 all 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 heartfelt 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 hazy head

She hid her letter under her turquoise tank top

When she ran into her bedroom and lay on the bed with a flop

Would it be what she had wanted? should Trudy dare to take a look?

As she clandestinely hid it in her reading book

Well she couldn’t wait any longer and luckily, there was nobody around 

As she stood up and shut her door in silence, without making a squeaky 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 summer clothes”..

“Please Trudy Makepiece will you be mine?”..

“My special sweetheart and valentine”..

Trudy was lost in a moment, with teardrops rolling down her cheek

She knew then that Tommy loved her dearly, and just the thought of him made her weak…
