5 Valentine’s Day Poems for Kids

Writing Valentine’s Day poems is a nice way to tell someone that you love them. It’s a sweet thing to write in homemade cards, especially when it comes to puppy love!

Valentine’s Day Poems

Valentine’s Day poems are only a good way to tell someone how you feel, but it shows that instead of taking the easy route by getting a store bought gift, you instead spent time thinking about them! Writing a Valentine’s Day poem is the perfect gift for the ones you love, and also works great for making cards to hand out in class!

Short and sweet is usually the way to go, so here are some short Valentine’s Day poems that are sweet, indeed!

It’s Valentine’s Day!

It’s Valentine’s Day!
You know what that means?
Hugs and kisses and lots of candy!
Exchange Valentine’s Day cards
in class at school
and getting many back,
hey, that’s pretty cool!

It’s Valentine’s Day!
The day of love
because of that cupid guy
shooting arrows from above.
So let’s sit back and have fun
While we smile and cheer

Happy Valentine’s Day!
The candy rush is near!

Favorite Valentine’s Day Things

Chocolates and flowers and butterfly kisses.
Hearts all around and lots of love wishes!

Who knew all the joy Valentine’s Day brings?
These are a few of my favorite things!

When the arrow strikes, you feel the love bite
There’s no room to be mad!

I think of all of these Valentine’s Day things
And I don’t ever feel bad!

I Love…

I love Daddy, my first Valentine.
I love Mommy because she made Daddy mine.
I love Brother because I’m supposed to.
I love Sister because she’s who I’m close to.
I love Grandma because she gives the best hugs.
I love Grandpa because he calls me bug!

Love To The Stars

What is Valentine’s Day?
There’s so much to say!
It is certainly a really happy day!

People show love.
People kiss and hug.
Cupid sent from up above!

We give gifts
but that’s not what it’s about.
It’s one nice bonus!

So never pout
if you don’t receive something
Because loved, you still are
Very much so

I love you to the stars!

Valentine’s Exchange

Winner, winner
of my heart
How I love you so!

My heart aches
oh so much
Whenever I have to go

To school, back home
away from you.
Please tell me you’ll be mine!

On this lovely day I say,
let’s exchange
our Valentines!

Of course, you can always change the format to compress them down a bit so that they appear shorter, if you are pressed for space. Or, if you prefer, you can write it on a piece of paper, fold it up, and place it in the card that way!

Be Sweet With Candy

If you are writing poems for Valentine’s Day, then chances are, you are already making cards by hand! That in itself is really sweet. To be extra sweet, be sure to include some candy!

You can even use those cute conversation hearts as decoration to embellish the cards, gluing them on with an edible glue using water and meringue powder. You want to make a good and sweet impression, so make it the best surprise that you can!

New Year’s Prayers and Blessings

With the passing of every Christmas comes the turn of the New Year, are you ready for that number to go up once more? Some feel like nothing is really different, but a new year is a door to many new opportunities.

Kick It Off With Prayer

Saying a New Year prayer, whether it’s to yourself, with your family, or with a whole party of people is a nice way to kick off the new year. Prayer can set the mood for positive changes and encourage good behavior, which is always the way to start the new year!

Why wouldn’t you want to start a new year without saying a prayer first?

Tips for New Year Prayers:

Ask God to help you better…: Chances are, you have set a few goals or resolutions. Resolutions are often (conveniently) forgotten about after the first couple of weeks of January. Don’t let yourself be that person. Commit to change, ask for God’s help, and stick with it. He’ll help if you let Him.

Pray for strength: What is it going to take to get you to stick with your guns? Strength and willpower. Who can help you find that within yourself? God. So just ask.

Tell Him your goals: If it’s just you or a whole room of people, make your goals clear aloud. Declare it. The more you put it out there, the more “real” it will feel, thus making it easier for you to accomplish what you are aiming for.

Pray temptation away: If your goal is a healthy diet, He won’t be able to hide the chocolate cake at the supermarket, but he might just be able to help you overlook it instead!

Pray for others: If this prayer is being said aloud at a party or family gathering, pray for the rest that are with you, in giving them strength to accomplish their New Year goals as well.

Safe Travels: Again, if this is at a group gathering, don’t forget to pray for their safe travels home! We all know how many intoxicated people there are on the road around this time (pray for those people as well)!

Sample Prayer

If you would like a sample New Year prayer, here’s one that takes into account most of the tips above:

Heavenly Father,

I’d like to thank you for this opportunity to start fresh in the oncoming new year. It is because of you that I navigated safely through this one and that I am at where I am today. And we, as a family, Lord, know that we are so blessed. We pray for strength to get through the hardest parts of the new year, and the many adjustments that we will be making. We pray that should temptation stumble upon our path, that we can simply look away, remembering and desiring every goal that we set. As we get closer to this new year, we ask that you keep everyone here out of harm’s way, and keep us safe in our travels back home. We know that nothing that we do compares to your glorious work, but we strive to be like you in everything we do. Let us start this new year off the right way, and that is by talking to you, God.

In your name we pray, Amen!

All you need to do in a new year prayer, like any other prayer, is just speak the truth and pray with all your heart!
