Before the cards, the wine, the flowers.
A courages soul, love has powers.
In Romes dark days the faith is banned.
A Priest stood strong in loves own hand.
In a secret vow of incense flare.
Married as one he did dare.
In prison he prayed, in death he proved.
That Christ is love, love unremoved.
So with every rose and poem we send.
remember our faith, our spirited friend.
In the season of love birds...
St. Valentine is more than art...
A sacrifice, a daring heart.
