I love you, the bluest

Courtney tells me over and over that she isn't a good writer. For Valentine's Day, she wrote the following at school:
"The Color of Love
I love you Dad, the bluest.
I love you the color of the rain,
as it falls from the gray clouds.
I love you the color of the sea,
when the sunlight shines on the water.
The sky at night,
when it's about to be completely dark.
The buzz of a bee.
The hush of a whisper.
I love you, Dad, the bluest."

I don't believe her when she says she isn't a good writer! I am in awe that my six year old wrote this!!!

I stumbled upon your blog and read your daughters poem. I think it is really well written! I also read the part of your profile that is on the home page of your blog. I always feel a need to tell someone who I meet that has a child living in Heaven that I too have a son who is living in Heaven. He died when he was 3 1/2 years old. Maybe our children are playing together right now! Thank you for sharing your daughters poem, it made me smile.
