February Rhyme and Song of the Month

Five Little Hearts
Five little hearts, all in a row.
The first one said,
"I love you so."
The second one said,
"Will you be my Valentine?"
The third one said,
"I will, if you'll be mine,"
The fourth one said,
"I'll always be your friend."
The fifth one said,
"We'll be friends until the end."

A Hug From You
Sung to "Mary Had a Little Lamb"
It's nice to get to a hug from you,
Hug from you,
Hug from you.
It's nice to get a hug from you,
So, let's give one right now.
(Hug child)
