My Valentine's Day Card

(The Music Video is at the bottom of this Post and the Poem is in the middle. Thanks for Reading.)

It is

Valentine's Day.

The day we celebrate love.

Rumor has it,

because no one knows for sure,

that a

Roman Catholic Priest

used to secretly marry

Roman Soldiers

when it was against the law.

It was believed that married soldiers would not fight as hard as unmarried soldiers because they worried too much about dying

and leaving their loved ones alone,

with no one to protect them.

Well,

the

Priest

was named

Valentine,

and after he was beheaded for disobeying

Roman Law,

he eventual became the

Patron Saint Of Lovers.

St. Valentine lost his head so we can send

Valentine's Day Cards

to our loved ones.

Isn't that sweet?

Well,

here is my

Valentine's Day Card

I wrote for my wife.

It was originally a song,

but I never recorded it with me singing it.

So it will always be a card for my

Wife.

I always thought love should flower,

a petal by a petal.

But when I look into your eyes,

I give you my heart and soul forever.

These few words say little,

 on how much I love you.

How can I explain?

You turn my grey skies so blue.

My message is clear.
Quick to heart,
and simple to see,
but I'm scared.
Thinking you might not feel
the same about me.

I always thought love should flower,
a petal by a petal.
But when I look into your eyes,
I give you my heart and soul forever.

But on this day I'm sure,
I don't sing these words in vain.

Because this,
this is the day,
that love has its reign.
