Love At Ten: A Poem About First Love for Kids

Love At Ten

I try to know

as I grow

how I show

I’m in love

We meet at play

everyday

How do I say

I’m in love?

The rules are new

What do I do?

I have no clue

I’m in love!

In maths I beam

her smile it seems

just like a dream

I’m in love!

A lunchtime date

She’s more than great

Not like my mates

I’m in love!

The sun’s above

What’s puppy love?

We push and shove

I’m in love!

In Hometime’s line

Her grin’s a sign

And so is mine

We’re in love!
