Martha Dear:
It’s not much, but it is the first of many Valentine’s I hope to be able to send to you.
With engineering, math and science
I’ve always had a close alliance
Travel and writing, and history too,
Are listed among the things I do.
There’s only one problem, I now discover
That I can’t solve: That of the lover
Who wants to say, “I love you darling”
In a better way.
