Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day began many years ago
A Day set aside in time
It's dated back to Ancient Rome
To a Bishop named Valentine
When Claudius became the Emperor of Rome
He sent out a Decree that read
To ensure the size of Rome's army
No one could be wed
Young men and women still fell in love
To Bishop Valentine they fled
He understood their love for each other
And in secret, by him, were wed
When Claudius learned of the Bishop's deeds
He was quickly placed under arrest
He was cast into the inner jail
His sentence was that of death
But, while he waited for that dreadful day
The jailer's daughter and he wrote notes
They too, finally fell in love
From the words of love they wrote
When the day of execution came
Many thoughts were on their minds
He wrote one final note to her
Signed "From your Valentine
And so this day is remembered
With those we love in mind
With cards and gifts of beautiful flowers
And candies if the richest kind
So, I wrote this simple poem
With the one I love in mind
It's penned and sent with all my love
It's from your Valentine

this Poem isn't written as a trigger to anyone. It is just a poem I wrote when I researched the origin of Valentine's Day and how I felt inside at the time I wrote it. I hope you like it.
