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

Yea Beth I would! And to top it off how about being on a twin swing while our hubbies push untill we can touch the sky with our bare feet?....sigh...if only....

ReplyDeleteWhen is your book going to the printers and being published...? Yeh, please do it! ☺
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Beth...
ReplyDeleteI 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...
Lovely photo, lovely words. You always touch my heart. : )

With every push of the swing my heart skips a beat.... oh, how I've always loved a big push on a swing.
ReplyDeleteYou know I would, Beth!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, we would have so much fun!
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.
ReplyDeleteThis has such a happy, lighthearted feel.....
ReplyDeleteYes, oh yes, I would. I would love to fly in that swing until my feet touch the sky. Such precious words!
