Saint Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day Dear martyr in heaven's Wonderous Glow There's a holiday named after you, I wonder, do you know? There are chocolate candies filling hearts Cupid's arrows aimed like darts Couples sharing kisses A million reminisces And Lonely people crying tears Wishing for love that lasts for years Happy Valentine's Day Precious dear Saint How do we celebrate? With palpitations Of loves heart rate Remembering not Your death Gorgeous bouquets and roses With a bit of babies' breath We celebrate love's Kindness The bright eyes healed Of blindness We hold the lover's Creed That love is good indeed We celebrate your reason In goodness of a season Rebel gainst' emperor Of war You proved love was Worth dying for I think you'd smile in happiness From heaven's glow above For the punishment And crime you did? Uniting hearts in love Though the emperor Forbade the young To marry, it was true So in secret came the Lover's their vows spoken before you The sweetness carried in your heart Was a love given from God You knew that love would not depart No matter where you trod Your path lead you to prison Where a maiden Blind was brought Through prayer To Jesus risen Answer given to Prayer sought You taught her how Christ's healing Could make her blind eyes see You taught your Student quickly You taught her How to read You taught her God's enormous love, was all she'd Truly need. Then your loving Life was taken And your precious Blossom left Her love was never Shaken As she stood within The cleft She knew that You were taken To Heaven's Home Divine To heaven's shore Ever her glance Where you were Valentine Happy Valentine's Day Dear brother in heaven's Lovely Glow There's a holiday named after you, I've wondered if you know?

Thank you so much Connie, I was so very blessed that this poem was honored as POTD, I just love St. Valentine. My grandson was born tonight, and I hoped that he could make his entrance on February 14th, I asked my daughter to give Benjamin the middle name Valentino, but she had other plans! He will in my heart always be Benjamin Valentino though ;) Thank you so much for dropping by with your kind words! <3 ~BJ

Thank you Bill! I'm really, truly blessed! Yes, our God is the source of Love, He is LOVE <3 I was always sad to think that St. Valentine died a martyr's death, and use to wonder, so why do we celebrate? When I realized it was his bold unyielding stance of love, his life was so beautiful because of it, and we stand with him in a way, as we celebrate! To have conveyed this deep emotion and earn a POTD for his amazing stance truly makes me feel I honored this precious brother in Christ! I am simply thrilled :)

Thank you Tom, I'm blessed that this is special to you. I had a hard time celebrating this day for many years, I wondered how the current celebrations had anything to do with the horror of his martyrdom. It has taken me a long time to see, we honor his loving choices in life, we too are in rebellion of the emperor of war as we raise the torch of a celebration of love, which he so embraced in his stance. Thank you for your encouragement! I hope your day is blessed! :) <3
