It's Valentine's Day. And in the street
There's freezing rain, and slush, and sleet.
The wind is fierce. The skies are gray.
I don't think I'll go out today.
But here inside the weather's warm.
There is no trace of wind or storm.
And you just made the morning shine.
You said you'd be my Valentine.

A VALENTINE FOR MY TEACHER

My teacher's very special,
So I'm making her a heart.
A Valentine that's sure to be
A proper work of art.

I've worked on it all morning,
So it should be ready soon.
I'd like to slip it on her desk
Before this afternoon.

It's colored in with crayons,
And it's trimmed with paper lace
It has flowers hearts, and Cupids.
I can't wait to see her face.

OUR CLASSROOM HAS A MAILBOX

Our classroom has a mailbox
That we painted red and gold.
We stuffed it with more Valentines
That it was made to hold.
When we opened it this morning,
I was nervous as could be.
I wondered if a single one
Had been addressed to me.
But when they'd been delivered
I felt twenty stories tall.
I got so many Valentines,
I couldn't hold them all.

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN APPLESAUCE

I love you more than applesauce,
Than peaches and a plum,
Than chocolate hearts,
And cherry tarts,
And berry bubble-gum.

I love you more than lemonade,
And seven-layer cake,
Than lollipops,
And candy drops,
And thick vanilla shake.

I love you more than marzipan,
Than marmalade on toast;
For I love pies
Of any size,
But I love you the most.
