Ya Know What I love?

More of prose than poem but more of poem than story. Huh.

I love the rain and the way it feels when you dance around in it. I love how my brother eats everything with his face, his WHOLE face. I love the way the sun filters down through the clouds in the morning. I love how my puppy continually forgets where his food bowl is and runs into the wall in his searching... Every single day. I love how my other puppy eats it all up before he even finds it. I love four-year-old boys who like giving mudpies to their sisters and shiny little scraps of garbage to their mommies. I love how by the time they find their mommies they've lost them, and she never even knows. I love little girls who are nearly moved to tears each time you give them something, even if it is only a shiny little scrap of garbage or a candy wrapper you've asked her to throw away. I love the naiivety and the child-like faith and the innocence we once had. I love being a confidante as well as a confider. I love how a song can change my entire mood in the expanse of only a few seconds. I love how my mother will always cry when I do. I love how my father will never be able to talk about his emotions but will always try. I love how my sister has two completely different sides--both of which I adore. I love boyfriends who love me back and girlfriends that I can tell anything to. I love being totally exempt from the girl-code because someone broke my heart. I love how I my best friend can tell what store my new clothes are from by smelling them. I love how we have funerals for fish and weddings for kitties. I love school and church and my family and my friends and my music and my art... But most of all... I love my life, my world, all of it. I love THIS. Everything about it... And ya know what I love? I wouldn't change it for anything

Ya Know What I Love ?

I love your poem. Some abitious reviewer will probably write a book
on this poem. It is sweet, full of the blossoms of youth. It is Dreamy
in a most innocent, youthful manner. It is busting with talent and wisdom.
I rocks !
