Distance may stretch across the miles,
Yet love refuses to measure by the road.
It does not weaken with each passing sunrise,
Nor fade with every silent night.

I married you
To share life's ordinary miracles—
To wake beside you,
To greet each morning with your smile,
To kiss you goodbye,
Knowing evening would bring us home again.

Today, the miles have stolen those moments,
But they have not stolen my heart.

For distance is only space,
Never the measure of devotion.
You remain in every prayer,
Every sunrise,
Every quiet thought,
Every breath that whispers your name.

You are my Valentine,
Not for a season,
Nor for a single day,
But for every day God grants us.

I carry you where no journey can reach—
Resting gently upon my heart,
Safely within my soul,
Alongside the faith that carries me.

And what a beautiful gift it is
To know that somewhere,
Beyond every mile,
There is one soul
Thinking of you,
Praying for you,
Waiting for you,
Cherishing you.
