There was a saint–his name was Valentine–
Pope Gelasius sainted him with this laud:
"His name is justly reverenced among men,
But his good acts are only known by God."
Now if this is the case with Valentine,
Lost though honorable, unknown yet still true,
Then it must not be quite so out of line,
For me to express how I admire you.
Valentine's love was "healthy, strong; worthwhile"
(The Latin term "valens" denotes as much).
Upon this "able" fellow God did smile,
And upon you, also, I think ‘tis such.
So with this sonnet, I wanted to say,
My dear "worthwhiles"… Happy Valentine's Day!
