What you do and do well
Is the stuff you should tell
You’ll get their attention
When with joy you mention
The things that ring your bell

She took a magic marker, red
Drew a heart on her forehead
And everywhere that she did go
She parted her bangs to show
Loving intentions she chose to spread

The hungry cat stares from the door
Hoping she’ll drop something on the floor
Pounces as chicken hits the ground
Gobbles it up without a sound
Purrs with gratitude and hopes for more

Ghosts of raindrops past
Marks on outdoor glass
How nice to know
When storm clouds grow
Rain lands only on the grass

The little one found a can of paint
The lid popped off with no complaint
The adventure ensued
And when it was through
The little one’s parents did faint
