2.  Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th every year.
It is a day to display affection. People send cards, called
valentines, to their friends, family, and loved ones. Verses
on valentines often rhyme and express love and affection.
Sometimes valentines contain humorous pictures or puns -
but almost all ask, "Be My Valentine."
 Valentine's Day falls on the feast day of two different
Christian martyrs named Valentine. The customs of
Valentine's Day has nothing to do with the lives of the
saints. It is believed that the customs come from an
ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia which took place
every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman
goddess of women and marriage - and Pan, the god of
nature.
 Valentine's day is a great day to celebrate our friends.
School children decorate their classrooms with bright red
paper hearts. They exchange gifts, candy, flowers or
"valentines."

3.  Dear heart, on this thrice-blessed day,
An thou my sweetheart be,
The rose of love shall bide always
Upon the red-rose tree.
 And in the garden of my heart
So ceaselessly shall shine,
The little birds will know thou art
Mine own true Valentine.
 And I will bid them wing and sing
To all good winds that blow,
That to thy little feet they bring
All blessings, even so.
 And o'er thy cradle I will coax,
By every lucky charm,
The friendship of the fairy folks
To fold thee from all harm.
 So may they hover round thy head
And gently there upon,
As doth the April sunshine, shed
Most gracious benison.
 And all fair gifts that Fortune hath,
I'll pray she promise these,
And that she loose about thy path
All sweet influences.
 Then here's a kiss! and there's a kiss!
And kisses, one, two, three!
I seal them in the folds of this,
And speed them unto thee!
