 Valentine for Marlena

A special valentine be for

Marlena Dietrich, oft in love

With many him's and her's galore.

She and her husband would talk of

These many affairs of her heart.

Beautiful and glamorous, she

Was one of a kind work of art,

Loved and adored by so many.

From youth into her seventies,

Marlena's love life loved on strong,

One whom many could love with ease,

Whether for a time short or long.

For Marlena, this valentine,

I wish she'd been a love of mine.
