When I see a flock of birds in the sky
When I hear my cat meow when she’s happy
When I taste cinnamon buns with lots of icing on top
When I am able to make my mom smile
When I am with my stuffed dog Madison
When I go to the doughnut shop and eat doughnuts
Then the sun shines for me.

*I* appreciate the spelling of “doughnuts.”
There is no question that Meredith is the most wonderful child.

I luff this so large! Could I trade Curly for her?

Definitely lump producing, especially the part about making her mom smile.

I got tears in my eyes and I don’t even know her! (which is unfortunate because she sounds really great!)

What a great poem! Definitely worth framing & mounting on the wall somewhere.

I was about ready to cry already and this made the first tear come. Freakin’ sweet kids.

I agree with the ladies above – did you get the car up on 2 wheels on your way to Hobby Lobby for a frame?
In preschool, My son wrote a statement that said “love is when you marry someone”. I had it mounted with my (at the time 12 year old) wedding picture.
Somehow, a child can always distill it down to the essence.
