4) Read some St. Valentine's Day cards I suggest you and compose your own ones (3 valentines).

Your heart is like a treasure.

A source of wealth to keep.

Impossible to measure.

Unfathomably deep.

Let me call you sweetheart, 

I am in love with you.

Let me hear with you

That you love me too.

If life should end tomorrow
And from this world I should part,
I shall be forever young
For you have touched my heart
----------------------------------

Let it rain, or let it shine,
It won't matter none.
You're such a lovely Valentine,
In either rain, or sun.

Oh precious, my precious, please be mine!

And I forever want to be your Valentine!
I promise to do everything to be your smartest rose,
I want to be the Valentine, the best you ever chose!

5) Read the love stories produced by your blogmates and leave your reflections on them in comments  in their blogs.
