The Legend Of The First Valentine

The first Valentine was sent in the third century A.D.

by a young Roman. His name was Valentinus.

For giving aid to Christian martyrs,

he was imprisoned by Emperor Claudius II

and sentenced to death. According to legend,

while Valentinus was awaiting his execution,

he befriended the blind daughter of the jailer,

and restored her sight. On the night before he died,

Valentinus penned a farewell message to the girl

who had meant so much to him,

and signed it "From your Valentine."

Valentinus was put to death on the 14th of February

and was buried in what is today the

Church of Praxedes in Rome.

Near his grave, a pink almond tree,

a symbol of abiding love is said to have bloomed.

Thus the name of Valentinus has come down

through the centuries as the word which stands

for affection among friends and

love among sweethearts.

My True Home

Just this morning I awoke so in love with

you that inside a cloud Burst

to lift me high above city streets and

down country roads to a log cabin in the woods where,

by a fire of apple and peach tree,

I laid my head against your lap and found there...

my true home.

And as the song title says

I Will Always Love You

To My Pal And Mate,

And Very Best Friend

Brenda

Who I Love Dearly.

Forever

I met you one day

A long time ago I knew not what to say

Or which way to go Our friendship grew stronger

Together we had fun The good times lasted longer

I thought you might be the one I tried to disguise how

I felt Really tried to keep it hid

But I knew the cards had already been dealt

So I opened myself;

I lifted the lid I told you what I thought

How we were meant to be together

Your love was what I sought

Would we last until forever?
