For Valentine's Day
Out of a snow cloud, cold and gray,
Something dropped on St. Valentine's Day,
Whirling and twirling and soft and light,
Like wee little letters all dainty and white,
And I guess the sky children were sending down,
This Valentine straight to the children in town.
-Unknown
You're a special friend of mine,
Friend of mine, friend of mine,
You're a special friend of mine,
Be my Valentine.
-Unknown
Cupid became associated with V-Day because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards holding a bow and arrows because he is believed to use magical arrows to inspire feelings of love.
