Save this sonnet for next year!
A VALENTINE FOR MY PARENTS
If once a year the praises that I spend
On what this world contains of fair and true
Can interrupt their outward flow, and bend
Back to their origin, then shall you two,
Well-born and of the world's nobility,
Obtain, not all your due, but some small part,
Who gave me life and give it constantly
Not only to myself, but to my art.
If I have learned to move within a form
And gracefully to wear its lightsome bond,
I learned this from the way you served the norm
Ungrudgingly, and faithfully were fond:
Through you the thought that love and law are one
Unbroken beams from the eternal sun.
