Draw a heart
In the quiet of a sunny day,
A simple pencil starts to play.
With gentle strokes, I take my part,
And let my hand create a heart.

Round the edges, soft and wide,
A shape of love I can’t confide.
Each line whispers joy and care,
A treasure drawn, so sweet and rare.

Red and pink, it comes alive,
In this heart, warm feelings thrive.
With every curve, a wish I send,
A symbol of love that knows no end.

So grab your colors, let’s start anew,
Together, let’s draw hearts, just me and you.
For in each heart, a story flows,
Of kindness, laughter, and all that grows.
