it makes me happy

It makes me so happy to see you

 smiling when I pick you up from school.

Is it because you did well on a Math test?

Hmmmmm....

Is it because you are starving and you know

we have plenty of Pringles at home?

Highly likely.....

Or could it be that you are happy to see me?

Ha!

Is it because your cell phone is at home

and you are excited to start texting your friends?

I bet....

Or because you missed Miley during the day

and you wanna get home to play ball?

Or maybe it is because you love your new school and friends?

:)

OR Could it be....

about a girl?

Bingo.

Regardless, it warms my heart to see you so happy here.

You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing. What! Is it nothing to be happy? Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long? Never in his life will he be so busy again. ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762
