Easy Valentine Idea

Need an easy but fun Valentine idea for your special someone?  Well, keep reading . . .

My guy enjoys these little red cinnamon hearts.  I find that they burn my tongue and my kids say they're too 'spicy'! 

But he loves them and so I did this for him for Valentine's Day - about ten years ago.  The original poem had been put in his journal.  I got the idea from somewhere, but the poem is my own creation.  {I've typed it out after this picture so it's easier to read.} 

Feel free to use it, just give me the credit for my poetic prowess!!!

The simple phrase I LOVE YOU

Is often hard to say,

Or sometimes we just plain forget

To say it every day.

I want you to know that I LOVE YOU

So here's what I have done:

I've taken little red cinnamon hearts

And hidden them one by one.

I've put them in your sock drawer

And in your sweaters too;

I've put them in your pockets

And probably in your shoes.

I've put them in your long johns

And even in your coat.

Why, I'd put them in the bathtub

If I thought that they would float.

So when you find a small red heart

Here's what you must do:

Suck it slowly in your mouth

And know that I LOVE YOU!

He enjoyed it - and it was especially fun when, months after Valentine's Day, he was still finding little red hearts!!!
