Dearest

I am writing this to tell you
how I love you so,
from your sweet, little fingers
down to your extra toe.
Your lovely smile just sends me,
Darling, it’s the truth.
I love your soft, pink lips,
and your snaggle tooth.
Listening for your footsteps,
it’s agony to wait,
for the echoes in the hallway
of your shuffling gait.
Sweetheart, I long to see you,
please don’t make me beg.
Come running back to me
if you can with that short leg.
