The legend says St.
Valentine
Was in a prison cell
...
Thinking of his little flock
He had
always loved so well.
And
wanting to assure them
Of his friendship and
his love ...
He picked a bunch of
violets
And sent them by a dove.
And
on the violets' leaves
He pierced these lines
divine ...
That simply said, "I Love
You,"
And "I'm your Valentine!"
So
through the years that followed
From that day
unto this ...
Folks still send messages of
love
And seal them with a kiss.
Because a Saint in
prison
Reached through prison bars one
day,
And picked a bunch of violets
And
sent them out to say ...
That
faith and love can triumph
No matter where
you are
For faith and love are
greater
Than the strongest prison
bar.
