I love you.

On Valentine’s day, I think of you, Mom;

I love you really a lot.

In my life that’s full of many good things,

You’re the very best thing I’ve got!

It’s Valentine’s Day, so I want to say,

I’m the luckiest kid anywhere;

You’re the sweetest, greatest, best mom around

And I want you to know I care!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Mom!

 

Happy Valentine’s Day to my Father/Dad/Daddy

Dad you are my favorite man,

And I sure want you to know,

I’ll always respect and love you, Dad

No matter how big I grow!

I love you.

 

Your Family Is Like That

Sometimes a group of people

Will bring you happiness

In ways you never dreamed of,

In ways you can’t express.

That’s why we want to say

How much we appreciate you;

Happy Valentine’s Day!
