When We’re Together
Together is walking to bright summer sunshine,
with happy songs filling your head,
it’s singing the words at the top of your voice ,
as you bounce up and down on your bed.
Being together is running down hillsides,
so fast that you almost can’t stop!
Together is landing in one giant heap,
and catching your breath as you flop.
Together’s the fun that you have when it’s snowing,
the sledges you can’t wait to ride,
it’s giggling while trying to hold up each other,
whenever you slip and slide!
Being together is having a secret,
you share with your very best friend,
it’s talking, listening and laughing together,
and knowing your friendship won’t end.
Time spent together is getting all messy,
it’s squidgy mud pies that you pat,
it’s squashing and squelching,
and stamping them down,
and hearing the sound as they splat.
Together is riding on daddy’s strong shoulders,
and feeling as tall as a tree,
it’s exploring and having adventures,
and sharing new things that you see.
Together is kicking through leaves,
crisp and crunchy,
and watching them swirl through the air,
it’s leaping in drifts that come up to your knees,
and showering the leaves everywhere.
Being together is fireside cuddles,
it’s magical stories we share,
it’s the rain pitter pat on the window,
squish squashed in our favorite chair.
Together is searching in seaweedy rock pools,
the catching a crab in your hand,
it’s squealing as cold waves rush over your feet,
and wiggling your toes in the sand.
Sometimes, together is just being quiet,
like gazing at clouds in the sky,
it’s seeing the shapes and the patterns they make,
and counting them as they float by.
Together is pillow fights all around your bedroom,
and giggling and running to hide,
it’s white fluffy feathers that fly through the air so it looks like it’s snowing inside.
Time spent together is big hugs at bedtime,
and being tucked in snug and tight,
it’s sweet dreams and moonbeams,
and drowsy eyes closing,
and sleeping safe all through the night.
