“Love”, by Connor-Rhys Herrington

I love you with all my heart.

Even more than the Queen loves jam tarts.

I love you with all my heart

Even faster than a zooming red racing cart.

I love you as far as space,

I think about you even while tying my shoelace.

I love you as far as space,

Because you have a very pretty face.

“Love”, by Sophie Wright

I love trolls.

I love dolls.

I love playing swing.

I love to spring.

“I Love My Mummy”, by Kieran Parcell

I love my mummy

She is the best!

She is better than all the rest.

She gives me kisses every day,

I would be really sad if she went away.

I love my mummy.

“Valentines”, by Molly Richards

The rose petals fell. one by one, to all the people in my life.

All the things I got, homemade, bought, I don’t care, as long as it’s been loved.

Past or future, make it happen, on Valentine’s Day, just tell someone you love them.
