Ok so this is a kids book but I curl up with a good kids book WAY more often than grown up literature! I was given a book the other day … I added some parts to it and I absolutely love this little story:

Small was feeling grim and grumpy.
“Good grief,” said Large, “how come so frumpy?”

“I’m grim and grumpy,” said Little Small,
“and I don’t think you love me at all.”

Oh, Small,” said Large, “grumpy or not,
I’ll always love you, no matter what.”

“If I were a grumpy grizzly bear,
would you still love me? Would you still care?”

“Of course!” said Large. “Bear or not,
I’d always love you, no matter what.”

“But if I turned into a squishy bug,
would you still love me and give me a hug?”

“Of course!” said Large. “But or not,
I’d always love you, no matter what.”

“No matter what?” said Small with a smile.
“What if I were a crocodile?”

“I’d still hold you close and snug and tight,
and tuck you in your bed each night.

Scaly rough and cold or not,
I’d always love you, no matter what.”

“But does love wear out? Does it break or bend?
Can you fix it or patch it? Does it mend?”

“With time together, a smile and a kiss –
love can be mended with things like this.”

But what about when you’re far away?
Does your love go too. or does it stay?”

“On frozen tundras or sandy beaches which are hot,
I’ll always love you, no matter what.”

“Look up at the stars. They’re far, far away.
But their light reaches us at the end of each day.”

“Where ever I am, near or not,
I’ll always love you, no matter what.”

“It’s like that with love – we may be close, we may be far,
but our love still surrounds us…where ever we are.

You are always in my thoughts,
And I’ll always love you, no matter what!”
