my love for you
teaches hamsters long division
takes candy to the bank
pays parking meters
with daisies and babies breath
it skateboards
in swimming pools
that have not yet been drained
My love for you hand crafts paint brushes for children
it cleans between teeth
it softens and brightens, and folds
my love for you is a many colored multicultural mural
that celebrates the celebrations of the world
my love for you intoxicates me
makes me dizzy with kisses
turns my world to clouds
puts a warm fuzzy feeling in my tummy
sneaks a smile accross my lips
my love for you tricks me into oblivion,
forgetting everything else,
tells me to wander and learn,
come home and inform you
My love for you starts fires,
spreads blankets,
it packs a picnic,
makes potato salad
it repels ants, and brings ladybugs and butterflies
my love for you gets more mileage to the gallon,
it cures headeaches
it puts rainbows in sprinklers
my love for you makes teddy bears stand up, sing, dance and do the robot
(have you ever seen a teddy bear do the robot? i have)
My love for you buys shoes for centipedes,
it spikes the punch bowl,
it juices fruit,
it calms choppy waters,
it rescues the deserted and feeds them pudding,
my love for you chops coconuts and ripens bananas,
it plants and waters,
it feeds on light.
my love for you writes poetry
