    Frank A Pellegrino

    Frank A. Pellegrino was born June 10, 1922 in Niagara Falls, New York. His parents were born in Italy and came to the United States in the early 1900’s. He attended the St. Joseph Elementary School in Niagara Falls.  In the 5th Grade, is where he learned to write poetry, a teaching that stayed with him all his life. After he left High School, he enlisted with the United States Regular Army, at age eighteen.  Serving in W.W. II, he was in Iceland, France and England overseas.  After 4 and half years of active duty, he returned to Niagara Falls. June 1, 1958, he married, Theresa Angellotti,  from Oneonta, New York (now deceased) and they were married 33 years.  He had been employed with the New York State Parks Commission for 25 years. To-date he has been retired for 20 years. After her death, he decided to make use of all his skills and hobbies.  This way he could fill the void in his life. His hobbies are gardening, writing, classical music, sports and cooking.  He is a member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church, the DAV, AARP, and CSEA. Frank has received many awards from the International Library of Poetry and one Beautification Award for his flower gardens in Niagara Falls. He has numerous poems published in Books of Anthologies with the International Library of Poetry to-date. April 27, 2001, Frank married his friend from Bloomington, Indiana, Alice Ann Davidson-Gilmore and they live a quiet, retired life in Niagara Falls, New York. Frank’s goal as a writer is not only to fill the empty void that was in his life, but, life itself inspires him.  God’s power and creations and all life surroundings, give him strength and hope for all his tomorrows.

      Valentine Sweethearts - Frank A Pellegrino

      CHAPTER I

      ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

      HISTORIC ST. VALENTINE’S DAY

      If seeing is a sign of believing,

      It may send your mind reeling.

      Sometimes when you see double,

      You may find yourself in trouble.

      If you have fallen in love so deep,

      Think it over before you leap.

      But if love is really understood,

      It is the best gift from cupid.

      It is super special on a certain day,

      It appears on St Valentine’s Holiday.

      St. Valentine started in the middle ages,

      Not limited to old or teenagers.

      They sent love letters at that time,

      Lovers would be called Valentine.

      It was also on this date,

      That, birds chose their mates.

      He was known to cure epilepsy and the sick,

      Was beheaded in the, Year Two-Ninety-Six.

      This story is by far not a mystery,

      It’s been passed down in our history.

      Lovers enjoy this day with songs,

      With love almost nothing can go wrong.

      Make Valentine’s Day your favorite Holiday selection,

      Love each other with unlimited dedication.

      THIS IS THE DAY

      I dream of Angels singing, from high above,

      Throwing down flower petals, filled with love.

      A lifetime love, that never fails,

      Just like Godmother’s fairy tales.

      Those flower petals, fill your heart,

      Leading to a lover’s start.

      It warms your body and soul,

      Fulfilling your love and your goal.

      Be My Valentine, Please Be Mine,

      On this day of St. Valentine.

      Your promises to her are sincere,

      Because it is, this time of year.

      Your lovely words, still ringing in her ears,

      They take away her doubts, and her fears.

      Over and over, the songs we have sung,

      Do it all, while we are young.

      What would we do without St. Valentine’s Day?

      Would it throw the worlds ‘love’ away?

      Your words of love, should have her sold,

      Don’t wait until you are old.

      Look at her eyes, and if they twinkle,

      Propose to her, don’t hesitate, don’t stay single.

      Kiss her once, kiss her twice or three times,

      Ask her to marry you on this Day of St. Valentine.

      ST VALENTINE’S HISTORY

      St. Valentine was a Holy Priest from Rome,

      He was also a physician, from his home.

      The city prefect failed to weaken his faith,

      Ordered him clubbed, beheaded, in Year 296 date.

      His history fills books of many pages,

      It dates back to the middle ages.

      This is when, they sent letters or Valentines,

      People still do in these modern times.

      It was a popular belief that birds choose their mates,

      So, they requested consent, to be married on certain dates.

      ‘Valentine’ is the name they called each other,

      Today, the same is done between lovers.

      You know St. Valentine’s Day is still alive,

      When a Valentine’s card arrives.

      When cupid shoots his love dart,

      You’ll know your love, stems from your heart.

      If you have troubles or are in deep depression,

      St. Valentine will make a good impression.

      Send a Valentine Card, to a girl or a fellow,

      Because, if you love them, you’ll want them to know.

      St. Valentine, the Patron Saint, of Faith and Love,

      Sends us his blessings from above.

      ‘St. Valentine’s Day, a day of Love and Peace’,

      A day for hate and wars to cease.

      LET’S ENJOY VALENTINE CELEBRATION

      From a big white light, from high above,

      It was Jesus spreading Peace and Love.

      Love as we know it, is hard to resist,

      Without it, we cannot exist.

      Love is a link in a long chain,

      It heals, whatever degree of pain.

      Replacing love with hate, would be sinful,

      And populations would soon dwindle.

      Love is connected to the moon, stars and milky way,

      But, none is more popular, than St. Valentine’s Day.

      A day, when Angels play their harps,

      And lovers, open up their warm hearts.

      When cupid gently takes aim,

      And sets the lover’s hearts aflame.

      Angels, day or night, touch you with their wand,

      Swiftly, mysteriously, without a sound.

      With every touch, appears a smile,

      As long, as the river Nile.

      Lets practice what God, and Jesus gave our Creation,

      And enjoy everyday, St. Valentine’s Day Celebration.

      TWO FOR ONE

      There are many holidays in a year,

      Some are favorites and very dear.

      St. Valentine is a very special kind,

      Everyone is so loving with one thing in mind.

      To try to find love on the day of St. Valentine,

      A true love that will last a lifetime.

      A life when no love is dull,

      It is one that is empty and null.

      Look for your Prince of Princess,

      Be certain of your choice before you say yes.

      If in God you both believe,

      His blessings you will receive.

      He will guide you throughout your life,

      Especially while your Married as Man and Wife.

      Two can live as cheap as one,

      Loving day and night is a lot of fun.

      Remember it’s till death do us part,

      From the time cupid shoots his dart.

      This Valentine is Leap Year, Two-Thousand and Four,

      A chance a woman shouldn’t ignore.

      A man whose love she can depend,

      From the very beginning, to the end.

      In your hearts let your love flow,

      And forever let it grow and grow.

      VALENTINE IS SPECIAL

      There is Eastern time and Pacific time,

      There is no better time than Valentine.

      Its time to come out of the closet,

      And pour your love like a faucet.

      You can continue strongly until spring,

      Love each other and do your thing.

      If you properly marry you can’t fail,

      If you are a Male and Marry a Female.

      Valentine is for everyone,

      You can love and have fun.

      Lovers can make a wonderful team,

      Even, if you are a young teen.

      You can relax
