I know that giggling is my favorite pastime and smiling can make a strangers day
I know that being a pumpkin or an M&M on October 31st has no age limit
I know that the yellow and orange leaves dancing in the wind remind me to look up every once in a while and that the countryside requires my purity of breath
I know that heroes don't speak of their conquests and that family trees as they age grow deeper and stronger roots
I know that home is always home and that I am forever my parents little girl
I know that mothers hang pictures in just the right place and have the intuition to know when the picture is a little askew
I know that luck does not always mean blessed and blessings are the wish to wish upon
I know that I have much more to learn as I say goodnight tonight
goodnight room
goodnight moon
goodnight cow jumping over the moon
goodnight light and the red balloon
goodnight kittens goodnight mittens
goodnight clocks and goodnight socks
goodnight little house and goodnight mouse
goodnight comb and goodnight brush
goodnight stars, goodnight air*
Good night from this bear
