Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

We hope you are all enjoying this very special day!!!

Valentine's Day is here again!!!

We had the opportunity to celebrate it at school last week!

Cards were written,

Gifts were offered,

Photos were taken,

All you need is love...

but a litlle chocolate here and there

doesn´t hurt!!! 

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

Love, love, love

There's nothing you can do that can't be done

Nothing you can sing that can't be sung

Nothing you can say, but you can learn how to play the game

It's easy

Nothing you can make that can't be made

No one you can save that can't be saved

Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need

There's nothing you can know that isn't known

Nothing you can see that isn't shown

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

It's easy

All you need is love

All you need is love

All you need is love, love

Love is all…

Just in case you need something a little more modern ...

here you are

DAVID BOWIE' VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine told me who's to go

Feelings he treasured most of all

The teachers and the football stars

It's in his tiny face

It's in his scrawny hands

Valentine sold his soul

He's got something to say

It's Valentine's day

The rhythm of the crowd

Benny and Judy down

Valentine sees it all

He's got something to say

It's Valentine's day

Valentine told me how he feels

If all the world were under his heels

Or stumbling through the mall

It's in his tiny face

It's in his scrawny hands

Valentine knows it all

He's got something to sayIt's Valentine's day

Valentine, Valentine

Valentine, Valentine

It's in his scrawny hands

It's in his icy heart

It's happening today

Valentine, Valentine

It's in his scrawny hands

It's in his icy heart

It's happening today

Valentine, Valentine

Still I rise!

Maya Angelou got a grammy award with this poem that seems to be very appropriate for these times!
Enjoy it!!!

Still I rise!!!

Still I RiseMaya Angelou - 1928-2014

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I’ll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I’ll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don’t you take it awful hard

’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines

Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame

I rise

Up from a past that’s rooted in pain

I rise

I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.
