Collage #7

How do I love you

Let me count the way

One when you’re happy

Two when you have a pumpkin

Three when you’re scared

Four when you’re on the floor

Five when you cry

Six when you smile

Seven when you’re in orange

Eight when you play

Nine when you’re a-swinging

Ten when I held you in my arms

…

Oh my goodness

This will take me all night

And all of the next day

And all of the next month

And the month after that

Until your first birthday

And I will not yet be done

Do you realize

It will take me a very long time

So let me just say

I love you ‘till all the numbers run out

Friendship

Looking in my friend’s eyes, what do I see?

Her passion never wavers, her strength never fades.

Her love’s always full, her life’s a great journey,

Her feet go where her heart leads the way.

Her heart touches so many others,

Her love fills so many empty holes.

Joy and laughter amid sorrow and pain,

We are the web that she cast, the strength that she built.

The Star of My Show

You’re the magnet I can’t escape

With the impish grin I can’t resist

My heart lurches, my head spins

You are the star of my show.

I turn around and see your face

I need your every angle, mood, and frame

Camera ready I take aim

You are the star of my show
