THEME: Someone who feels proud
Here is my entry:
WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE? (WC 154)
By Michelle S. Kennedy
Who will be your Valentine?
I need to know…
Will YOU be MINE?!
I am proud, I must confess.
I won’t nag—
(so just say YES.)
Who will be your Valentine?
I need to know…
Will YOU be MINE?!
I am proud (at least in school.)
I won’t plead—
(‘cuz that’s not cool.)
Who will be your Valentine?
I need to know…
Will YOU be MINE?!
I am proud, but I’ll admit
I won’t beg—
(but I might quit!)
Who will be your Valentine?
I need to know…
Will YOU be MINE?!
I am proud, (but now unsure).
I won’t lie—
(I’m insecure.)
Who will be your Valentine?
I need to know…
Will YOU be MINE?!
I am proud, so one last time,
I will ask—
Will YOU be MINE?!
Who will be your Valentine?
I guess not me…
I’ll let you be.
Oh?
You’ll BE my Valentine?
(BIG RELIEF)
I’m on cloud nine!
