How Do I Love You?

We started reading a bedtime story to vanderbaby around 22 weeks every night. Even when I went home at Easter Uncle Joel read to baby :)

How do I love you?

Le me count the ways.

I love you as the sun

loves the bright blue days.

I love you as the bee

loves a fragrant flower.

I love you as the thirsty duck

loves a sudden shower.

I love you as the bird

loves a song to sing.

I love you as the waking bear

loves the smell of spring.

I love you as the cat

loves a sunny sill.

And as the dancing snowflakes

love the winter's chill.

How do I love you?

Let me tell you how.

I love you as the nest

loves the sturdy bough.

I love you as the sea

loves the sandy shore.

And as the ancient world

loved the dinosaur.

I love you as the wind

loves its own sweet sound.

And as our friendly Earth

loves to spin around.

I love you as the moon

loves each shining star.

I love all that you will be

 and everything you are.
