valentine's day poem

Nathaniel wanted to write a poem for his 'girlfriend' for Valentines day. So he did what any smart eight year old would do: asked his big sister to help him!

Here is what they came up with:

The time of love has come back this year
The time of flowers, kisses and ribbon
Hang a pearl in every cow slips ear
and let your love know you care.
Let the light pour in,
From the smiling faces,
All I ask is one simple question:

Will you be my Valentine?


Nathaniel(8)
(with some help from Hannah (10))

I tried to scan this so you could see the swans he drew but couldn't get it to work !(

Hmmm... do I see a future Shakespeare here?

How adorable! By the way, I'm having a blast watching your kids at rehearsal. Hannah's precision with lines and blocking -- she's like an adult in a kid's body (which I know you already know) -- and her beaming smile... and Nathaniel's silly fairy behavior (disco dancing?!) and perfect expressions of surprise or joy - whatever is appropriate in the moment. :)
