I found this again today and didn’t want to lose it, so it has become today’s blog entry.

“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget. When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
~Megan Jo Eberhart, 5 years old.
This is how you know I love you.
Angel dust falls whenever I speak your name.
My eyes glitter and my lips turn up at the corners in a smile.
This is how you know I love you.
Your name rolls off my tongue light as a feather.
From the words that fall from my lips, others would think you’re an angel
And could do no wrong.
This is how you know I love you.
I tell you.
Just in case you forget.
