thanks Jack

one of the joys of my job is that I occasionally get to work in the children's library. yesterday during the Valentines Day parties (where all the little girls are dressed in red & pink, hearts and Hello Kitty) this poem was read. it made me smile. I will remember it for my little ones.
I love you more than applesauce,
Than peaches and a plum,
Than chocolate hearts,
And cherry tarts,
And berry bubble-gum.

I love you more than lemonade,
And seven-layer cake,
Than lollipops,
And candy drops,
And thick vanilla shakes.

I love you more than marzipan,
Than marmalade on toast;
For I love pies
Of any size,
But I love you the most.
