A public service poem-song, an important message:
This is to share a poem-song I wrote for my kids when they were younger to let them know that no matter what was going on in our lives or in the world around us, they were loved. It’s called “Forever and Wherever”.
It’s important for people, especially children, to feel they are loved, especially when things aren’t going smoothly for whatever reason. I know there are families staying home, spending more time together, and maybe getting on each other's nerves. I hope this might help. Recite it (or sing it) to your kids. It might not be a bad idea to recite it or sing it to your siblings, spouse, or significant other either...
I love you when I’m happy.
I love you when I’m sad.
I love you when I’m proud of you.
I love you when I’m mad.
I love you in the night-time
and each and every day.
I love you – oh – so very much,
more than I can say.
I love you when you’re dirty.
I love you when you’re clean.
I love you when you’re sweet and kind
and even when you’re mean.
I love you right-side-up and upside-down
and sideways too.
I love you – oh – so very much
because I’m me and you’re you.
I love you when you’re healthy.
I love you when you’re sick.
I love you when you’re in my way
and when you’re way too quick.
I love you when we’re cuddled close
and when you’re far from me.
I love you now, forever,
and wherever you may be
If you’re interested, I recorded the simple melody I used when singing it to my kids and uploaded it to YouTube (the only thing I’ve ever youtubed). Look for Wendy Brooker, Forever and Wherever. Or make up your own melody!
