I should have sent some flowers,
I should have sent a card,
but then I got so busy
and it was all too hard!
So I cut some nice red roses
at next door’s in the dark,
and added lots of other things
growing in the park.
It made a lovely gift
and didn’t cost a cent.
Isn’t it the thought that counts
and not how much I spent?
February 14th is Valentine’s Day. Do you celebrate? Do you have a special Valentine? Or do you think love should be celebrated every day?! It’s also Lunar New Year and this is the Year of the Dragon! When we lived in Vietnam, Lunar New Year or Tet, was such a colourful, noisy and joyous time. What are your experiences of Tet? Send in your poems about Lunar New Year, dragons, love, valentines and any other celebrations in the month of February to ozchildrenspoetry@gmail.com
