As to the start of Valentines Day, there are many different stories. One
depicts Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr of 3rd century Rome, as living in a
monastery and being secluded from the outside world. When he walked in the
garden he would pass little cheery love notes through the garden gate to the children
who were playing on the other side. Thus the tradition of sending
Valentines.
The phrase "Be My Valentine" may have come from a tradition that
started in about the 14th century. For many years young people in France and
England would get together on St. Valentine's Eve. Each person became
the "valentine" of the one whose name was drawn from a valentine
box. "Will you be mine?"
Today its Flowers, Candy, and of course those
Valentine Cards. It has become a commercial venture, but still offers that holiday
cheer.
"Here's wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day"
My Dreams Are
Yours
Whatever dreams I ever have … However old
or new … They are the pictures and the thoughts …
I want to share with you … The plans I have for everything
… I hope will come my way … And all the magic
beauty that … Belongs to yesterday … I want to
take them in my hand … And bring them to your door …
And promise you that all of them … Are yours forevermore
… I want your heart to understand … That every
dream in me … Is one that you inspired with … Your
love and loyalty … And so whatever dreams I have …
And whether old or new … I want to say sincerely that
… They all belong to you.
