How do I love you?

I hope my dear friend Lacy will forgive me for stealing this from her blog, but these lyrics are just too sweet. I had to share. This is a from a book called How Do I Love You by children's book author PK Hallinan.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love you on your best and very worst of days.
I love to see you laughing and dancing in the rain.
And even when you lose your shoes, I love you just the same.
I love to hear you singing. I love to see you smile.
I love the way you take each day in your own unhurried style.
I'm happy when you're happy. I'm sorry when you're sad.
And even though it may not show, I love you when you're mad.
How do I love you? Well, now, let me see....
I love the way you act so brave when you fall and hurt your knee.
I love to watch you sleeping, tucked away in pleasant dreams.
I love to hear you whisper all your giant plans and schemes.
I love the way you wear your pants with the front part in the back,
and the way you walk around sometimes with your head inside a sack.
I love to see you deep in thought. I love to watch you play.
And though I'm sure you'll never know, I love you more each day.
How do I love you? It's impossible to say. For if I had a million days,
and time enough for all the praise, I couldn't tell you all the ways...
I love you.

  1. I've actually found a few PK books at TJ Maxx. He's my favorite...and no, I'm not mad. "Thank you, God" is another PK favorite.
