Valentines Day
Valentines Day
The day that singles say they dread
The day of red
But does anyone know what the day says?
Valentines day
The day of feasts
To honor our St. Valentinus
The Christians created it, did you know?
They made it all about love
A long long time ago
It started out as imprisonment
For St. Valentine knew he was doing what shouldn’t be done
Marrying soldiers who should not wed
And the Christians who were persecuted
Those were better off left unsaid
But St. Valentine
He did it again and again
Imprisonment he faced and the imprisonment came
He cured the blindness out of a girl
The judge was her father
Valentinus wrote her a letter
Sincerely, Your Valentine
As a goodbye
And then came the evangelists
It was all Chaucer’s fault, evangelist
In the 1300’s he created the courtly love that started it all
By the 18th century
Lord help us all
Their was cupid and cards
And flowers and doves
It soon spread to America and then life was done
Now February 14th has infected us all
