Happy Valentine's Day to all Guyanese, lovers of Guyana around the world, and especially my wife, Ernella Garner. “You are the love of my life” is a poem I wrote for my wife.

“You are the love of my life”

Poem written by Winston Garner Jr. (August 10, 2013)

For my precious, blessed, highly favoured, and loving wife, Ernella Garner

You are the love of my life

That is why you are my wife

For the rest of my life

You are my queen and my wife

You are more than nice

You are my thick slice

A big glass of drink, with ice

My macaroni, chicken and rice

My day and night

My sun and moon light

You are the one that completes my life…

You are my song that plays in the day and in the night

My gift from God, a precious gift for life

You are beautiful, my queen and my wife

You are, the love of my life
