If you just bought this balloon,
you own it
and your child owns it
forever.
forever…
Think about it. What do we want the love holiday to look like?
It’s just a wish,
but maybe….you could try smelling some flowers
…or sharing a beautiful place.
You could make something with tape (if you have it)
or pile up some red!
A book you’ve enjoyed can make a thoughtful gift,
…and there’s mixtapes!
You can give something important away,
whatever you have that may be important.
….and of course, don’t forget to celebrate togetherness!
(happy 1st* Anniversary you**)

( ps. poems are also nice to share!)
Have fun!
