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?
