Love is a Handful of Honey

We've been reading this book from the library, Avery and I. Love it! It makes me excited for a new day and makes me want to live in the country meadows by the forest and the mountains and relive all my childhood adventures with little Avery!!!

Love is that high-flying feeling

That makes you leap out of your bed.

Love is what makes you throw open the curtains

And somersault 'round on your head.

Love is that warm cozy feeling,

A cuddle that tells you you're sweet,

And love is that feeling of laughing out loud

When somebody tickles your feet.

Love's skipping out in the morning

And hoping the day never ends,

And love's what you feel when you all get together

And go on adventures with friends.

Love's when you hide in the forest

In places that nobody knows.

Love is that fluttery feeling you feel

When a butterfly taps on your toes.

Love is a handful of honey,

And love's making friends with the bees,

Even the flowers are bursting with love

When they're dancing about in the breeze.

And then when your stomachs are grumbly,

Love is unwrapping your treats,

And love's stuffing everything all in at once

Leaving masses of mess on your cheeks!

Love is splish-splashing through puddles,

And love's getting soaked in the rain.

Love is a rainbow that bursts through the sky

When the sun begins shining again.

Love's when you can't stop describing

Just what you've been doing all day,

And love is when somebody quietly listens

To everything you've got to say.

Love is a great bedtime story

That takes you to faraway lands,

And love's when you want to show someone you care

So you snuggle up close and hold hands.

Love's looking out of the window

To wave at the Man in the Moon,

And love's when you whisper good night to the stars

Who'll be watching you dream very soon.

And then when you're tired and sleepy,

And you're cozily tucked up all tight,

Love is that last little cuddle and kiss

That helps you sleep safe through the night....

Goodnight
