Let us remember

Now that we are married
Side by side
In love
We stand
Two hearts as one
Let us remember a priest
St. Valentine
A man
Who lived his faith
And didn’t forget the vows he knew
St. Valentine, with courage so pure
Defied the law to make love endure
In secret, he married young lovers similar to us
He gave his life with a martyr’s grace
As lovers or defenders of love
Let us remember a priest
As we love on the shoulders of those who’ve fought
For faith, for love, and all it has brought
Let us remember a priest
Now that we are married
side by side
In love
We stand
Two hearts as one
