The story of Saint Valentine
is a legend, it is true.
This legend so delightful,
and very lovely, too.
The legend says Saint Valentine,
imprisoned in a cell,
Was thinking of his little flock
he had always loved so well.
He wanted to assure them
of his friendship and his love,
So he picked a bunch of violets
and sent them by a dove.
And on the violets' velvet leaves
he pierced these lines divine...
They simply said, "I love you
and I'm your Valentine."
So, through the years that followed
from that day unto this,
Lovers still send messages of love
and seal them with a kiss.
Because a saint in prison
reached outside his bars one day
And picked a bunch of violets
and sent them out to say
That faith and love may triumph
no matter where you are,
For faith and love are greater
than the strongest prison bar.
Ever wonder the many ways we use the word heart?
Here's a few, I found to be interesting to share:
Have a heart...
to be comapssionate or merciful
Lose one's heart....
to fall in love
Speaking from the heart...
honestly expressing one's deepest feelings
Heart n soul...
feverently, completely, enthusiastically
Set one's heart on...
to pursue with determination, to wish for intensely
From the bottom of one's heart...
to seriously consider
Take heart...
to regain courage or strength
From the bottom of one's heart...
with complete sincerity
At heart...
in reality, sincerely
Have one's heart in the right place...
good intentions
Cross one's heart...
to hold on to what's true, affirm one's integrity
Wear one's heart on one's sleeve...
allowing one's intimate feelings be known to everyone
In one's heart of hearts...
deep within oneslelf
By heart...
knowing exactly, word for word
