The history of this special day
St Valentine..was a bishop of Rome who was martyred on February 14, 270 AD. The Roman emperor Claudius II made getting married
illegal.because he blamed marriage and love for the reason why men didn't join his army. Bishop Valentine believed in love!
So he carried on marrying people behind his back, even though it was illegal. Claudius II ordered Valentine beheaded for breaking
the law.
In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius renamed
Lupercalia to St. Valentines Day. We now honor the patron Saint of love on the February 14th.
Valentines day is known more
for us adults/teens to send our loved ones cards, gifts, flowers or chocolates but you see the odd few children sending cards
to there first love.... Awwwwwwwwwww (So Sweet)!!!
Be
My Valentine: What Does That Mean?
Be my Valentine: What does
that mean?
Each of us must walk through life alone,
More
deeply desolate than we have known,
Yearning for a truth we've never seen.
Valentines are from
beyond that dream,
Are like a sunrise on a world of stone.
Little on this journey can we own
Except
as miracles might intervene.
No way but through loving might we give
The freedom of our being
to another.
In such a sacrifice we hope to live
No longer bound by dreams of flesh and bone,
Even
as we bind our lives together.
Before
I Knew You, I Had Always Loved You
Before I knew you, I had always
loved you,
Even as I dreamed
of whom I'd love.
My inner picture was a portrait of you
Years before your heart my heart would
move.
Vistas of enchantment are but rarely
As we find them in reality.
Love with
you is what I dreamed, but really,
Eden as no dream could ever be.
Nor is this the magic of the
moment,
The proper costume for the holiday.
In words like these one finds the winnowed ferment,
Not
of the desire, but of the way,
Else lost amid the longings of the day.
Blessings
Are the Things We Take for Granted
Blessings are the things we
take for granted.
Each holiday we notice what we see.
Most
know the Earth is utterly enchanted
Yet walk through life and love mechanically.
Valuing one's
gifts takes resolution
After days and nights of fantasy.
Love brings the sweet relief of absolution,
Enveloping
our hesitance in need.
No touch inspires so swift a revolution,
Transforming all the hieroglyphs
we read.
In your love is the charity of spring,
Neither self-obsessed nor blinded by some creed,
Embracing
the grey dawns that blessings bring.
Each
Day Your Smile Becomes My Morning Star
Each day your smile becomes my morning
star.
I look at you and then my feelings shine.
From you I learn far more than words
or numbers:
You're the book that someday will be mine.
You're the one whose love my love
of learning
Will one day trace in its ancestral line.
For all the ways you help me
grow towards beauty,
I ask you please to be my Valentine.
Valentine's a Day to Say, "I Love You"
Valentine's a day to say,
"I love you,"
A ritual that stages something real,
Letting out the truth of what I feel
Even
as I think it often of you.
Nor could I with such grace without this day
Tell you that I'm grateful
that I have you,
Impress upon you just how much I need you,
Needing such a frame for what I say
Even
as I would my heart reveal.
Words
Can Tell What Hearts Divine
Words can tell what hearts divine
This
most romantic time of year:
So will you be my Valentine?
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
Till
golden moon meets midnight drear.
For words can tell what hearts divine
When air's perfume and water's
wine,
And cupids hover at one's ear:
So will you be my Valentine?
And do we feelings dare define
In
phrases adamant and clear?
For words can tell what hearts divine,
And souls can step across a
line
On days when angels wait to cheer:
So will you be my Valentine?
Ah, love! Let love this one
day shine
On fancies lush and passions sheer!
For words can tell what hearts divine:
So
will you be my Valentine?
Love Mystery for my Star Sign: Scorpio
You may be an ideal lover, but not always an ideal
wife/husband owing to your aggressiveness but are also a good provider and very protective. You enjoy the domestic comforts
and make willing sacrifices for your home.
You are a great and romantic lover, very ardent in your attentions, sometimes
more than your partner can cope with. You are very demanding in your sex life, with much physical ardour. However, sometimes
the eagle that is also your sign makes you capable of platonic love. Your strong physique and glamour often make you physically
very attractive, very sensual with your innate magnetism.
Your marriage is almost always a very enduring one, despite the
fact that you are difficult to live with, and not above a fling or two, which your partner will have to overlook, as it does
not mean anything for keeps.
