1-more Valentine! Okay?

 Happy Valentine Day!

 

Sometime in her delicious Fantasy Dreamscape Magic Unicorn occurred.

“Oh! Hi! Magic!” Smiled the little girl. “Meow!” Kitty-cat Penelope purred.

 

“Good morning! Young-lady Gabriella Leigh and to you Penelope-cat.

“Happy Valentine Day! Let’s take an adventure wearing a red Heart-hat.”

 

Quickly wide awake Gabriella donned the offering in celebration.

Penelope got one, too; Magic Unicorn joined in the fun-flirtation.

 

“You look kind-a Cool in a heart-hat, Magic.” Miss Gabriella giggled.

Kitty-cat pawed at her bright-adornment, shook her head and wiggled.

 

“Oh! Pretty-Penelope! Please leave it on,” Magic cajoled. “It’ll sure be fun.

“We’re going to ‘eternal’ Rome to visit St. Valentine before we’re done.”

 

“Goodie!” Clapped the little girl. Then, “Who’s St. Valentine?” She said.

“A Bishop way back. He wrote Love-letters with pictures of hearts red.”

 

The happy trio soared through a chill night across wide-water to Coliseum-Rome.

“That’s ole ancient Italy, Girls.” Magic advised as they spied Nero’s gold-dome.

 

“2,000-years ago Bishop Valentine was pirate-captured and made a slave.

“He tended animals 3-years, escaped and returned being a man very brave.

 

“Falsely accused, the emperor put him in jail but he made the very best of his fate.

“He wrote letters-of-Hope to his jailer’s blind-daughter full of Love against evil-hate.

 

“He decorated the pages with drawings of Love-hearts colored bright-red.

“For Valentine’s Faith-in-the-Lord he wears a golden-halo ’round his head.”

 

Gabriella Leigh listened intently, not missing a word, taking it all in, a bit dazed.

“You mean he died for being Good helping unfortunate people!?” She was amazed.

 

“’No Good-deed goes unpunished’,” Magic answered, trying “wisdom” to convey.

“An idiom meaning “Life is unfair”, still one must try to holy-sacred Saintly purvey.

 

Miss Gabriella pondered Magic’s lesson. “You mean ‘Always do Good!?’”

“Yes!” Comforted Magic, adding, “And, you forever do as you should!

“St. Valentine Day holy-Love red-hearts shows us that surely we could.

“Most problems are solved with honest-Truth if only practice we would.”

 

Kitty-cat napped on the long-trip home to again safe in the ole U.S. of A.!

Morning found Missy writing red-heart color Valentines-of-Love! To say!

“I Love Mommy & Daddy and the whole world! Happy Valentine Day!
