I Love...

(for Tom and for Sr. Rose, who replaced Mrs. Rice)

I love to write
I love to sing
I love to dance
I love to swing
A bat that goes “craaack” when it hits a ball
I love the springtime
I love the fall

I love my birthday
I love my name
I love to laugh
I love a game
Of Clue with people who like to play
I love the nighttime
I love the day

I love my family
I love my friends
I love my lover
Who always sends
Me flowers and smiles
When he mows the lawn
I love to sneeze
I love to yawn

I love the sunrise
I love the set
I love the moon
I love to get
Snuggled in covers
When the nights get cold
I loved being young
I love getting old

Whenever I think
I’m not happy enough
I try to remember
The marvelous stuff
Like a beach or a rose
Or some simple thing
That makes me write
And makes me sing!
