I Believe in Holding Hands

I believe in goodnight kisses

I believe in morning cuddles

I believe in honey on buttered toast

I believe in imagination and adventure

I believe in smiling (even when you don’t feel like it)

I believe in the bird’s song

I believe in walking barefoot on green grass

I believe in looking deep into my children’s eyes

I believe in peanut butter with syrup

I believe in wearing a cute hat on bad hair days

I believe in the wind (even if I can’t see it)

I believe in colour

I believe in black and white

I believe in the apple’s crunch

I believe the ocean is big and filled with many wonders

I believe in a bit of nonsense

I believe in holding hands

I believe in learning and growing (through the hard times and good times)

I believe in small joys

I believe in singing in the shower

I belive in reading a good book under a big tree

I believe in fresh colourful food

I believe in giving more than getting

I believe in saying sorry

I believe in drinking tea in a pretty cup (first thing in the morning)

I believe in warm bed socks and baggy T-shirts

I believe in eating chocolate in bed

I believe in mish-mash and making do

I believe in under-the-table cubby houses and backyard forts

I believe in quiet moments and crazy loud

I believe in trying (even if you’re not good at it)

I believe in orange juice with pulp

I believe in dancing in the kitchen

I believe in long walks on the beach

I believe in skipping with my kids

I believe in picking wild flowers (and displaying them in jars)

I believe in unconditional love
