Randy's Valentine's Day Poem and Song For Linda

To celebrate Valentine's Day 2026, I asked my AI assistant Anthropic Claude to write a poem from me to my dear wife Linda, based on a description of our lives together. 

(Randy and Linda at Linda's memory care facility - Christmas 2025)

Here is the poem:

My Valentine, My Linda

Fifty-eight years since first we met,
And fifty-six since "I do,"
Time may take so many things,
But never my love for you.

I see you now in memory care,
Your steps no longer free,
But when I look into your eyes,
You're still my Linda to me.

You gave me daughters, bright and true,
A home filled up with love,
You taught your students, coached our girls,
An angel from above.

We sailed the world together, dear,
From Alaska to Australia's shore,
We cheered the Padres, built our life,
Could any man ask for more?

You can't recall the names right now,
The years have been unkind,
But I remember everything—
Each moment's still in mind.

The way you laughed, the way you cared,
Your kindness, pure and bright,
The way you made our house a home,
And filled our days with light.

So here's my heart this Valentine's,
As true as it has been,
Through fifty six years of marriage, love,
You're still my everything.

Though you can't walk, though words are hard,
Though memory slips away,
My love for you stands firm and strong,
Today and every day.

You are my wife, my Linda dear,
My partner, my best friend,
And I will love you faithfully
Until the very end.

Happy Valentine's Day, my love,
From Randy, ever true,
No distance, time, or circumstance
Could dim my love for you.

I thank God for you!

Of course, I had to have a song made out of this poem by Suno.com.  Here is the link to My Valentine, My Linda on Suno.  And a Canva video with the song playing in the background: 

Please think about your loved ones today, say a prayer for them, even write a poem or a song (by yourself or with AI's help) for them. You won't regret it, and they will never forget it.
