Saint Valentine
Man of good intension, of love, honour,
though defied Roman emperor Claudius,
became a Martyr died without mourner,
yet over centuries became most glorious,
Roman army free of affection or love,
dedicated Fighting men was Claudius's law,
man of the cloth married lovers as he should,
Claudius beheaded him and that's for sure,
from priest to Saint this good man became,
lovers all over the world now celebrate,
fourteenth of February they did proclaim,
due to his death and his undesired fate
this most important day for you and mine,
thanks to wonderful acts of St Valentine.
