Sit here and sit still…..Don’t move. I am about to paint a portrait of you.
Let me start with your eyes….they are so wise. Think of all the things you have seen with those eyes. Trees….Hills…think about all the books that you have read with those eyes. Thrillers and romance novels. Your eyes are like a camera taking shots of important memories and fond events. How many tears have you cried? Some happy. Some very said. I cried along with you.
Now your nose…think of all the things you have smelled in your life. Gardenias. Sterling silver roses….and an apple pie you just took out of the oven with Granny Smiths and cinnamon.
Now your mouth . How many thousands of people have you kissed? Maybe I kissed you during one of my personal appearances . Think of how many kisses you blew. I am now blowing one to you. How many meals have you eaten….waffles, pancakes, crispy bacon…salads….and…meatloaf. …and mashed potatoes. I can’t forget about you laughing . Maybe you had a relative that told jokes.
Now…your ears. How many songs do you think that you listened to in your life? Did you like classical, or rock, or like ….me the oldies? How many people have whispered in your ears? Bring one of your ears closer to me I want to say sweet nothings in your ear.
Now your shoulders…you can move them up and down and round and round. Sometimes you carry too much weight on your shoulders. Maybe a loved one rubbed them to relieve your tension.
Let’s get to your arms. How many hugs have you given to people? Were they little ones or bear hugs? I remember hugging my father and he would say. Don’t do that and …I would hug him harder.
With your fingers….Did you play piano..a harp or a violin? I took piano lessons once. My little short fingers didn’t make the piano sing.
Let me paint your legs perfectly. How many thousands of miles have you walked? How many stairs have you climbed? And let’s not forget about dancing …. Slow dancing and the fast ones….Did anyone ever call you twinkle toes? And by the way did you tap your toes while listening to your favorite tunes?
When I was a child I actually put my toes in my mouth. Did you? Lol Ok I am finished. Take a look how did I do?
