would you....

would you
build me a tree house
with funny crooked windows
to play in
~~
would you
help me look for fairy footprints
under the fallen leaves
~~
would you
come looking for me
if I wanted to play hide and seek
~~
would you
hold my secrets gently in your heart
if I whispered them in your ear
~~
would you
push me on the park swing
until my feet touch the sky
~~
would you
paddle the canoe
so I could just sit and watch the clouds go by
~~
would you
carry my sled to the top of the snowy hill
so
I could slide back down again
~~
you would
?
I would
too

Would you... send me a bit of your inspiration? The photo is exquisite, but so are your words and I am short on exquisite these days :)

When is your book going to the printers and being published...? Yeh, please do it! ☺

Beautiful Beth...

I wish it was a canoe day today - that one really got me, you know how the water trickles off the paddle and swirls back into the big as you go slow...You watch the clouds, I will watch the water and what a moment we will have...

Love to you...

With every push of the swing my heart skips a beat.... oh, how I've always loved a big push on a swing.

You know I would, Beth!!

And, we would have so much fun!

TechnoBabe said...

I would do all of it except build the tree house, we'd have to contract that out. I'm especially good with finding fairy footprints and holding other peoples precious secrets.
