Sun Shine Kisses
"When I go outside the sun shines
always there
and it kisses my nose and cheeks
it leaves little golden kisses on my face
I never get to choose if I like them or not,
because sometimes, I feel beautiful
and then I feel ugly,
but my sun shine kisses can be as gold as sunlight
and I can feel beautiful
or they can be as brown as bark
and I can feel ugly"

Tell her I think she is very beautiful whether she has freckles or not!
My girls had freckles, too.
Fantastic writing. I adore little freckles. She is beautiful!
She's a doll freckles and all---AND---a pretty good little writer.
I like freckles...she is a deep thinker/writer for such a young kid
What a thinker she is, and that is so great she can love them even part of the time. I absolutely hated my freckles for most of my life and now I have just accepted them as part of me, but I wish I could have learned to accept them when I was younger.
I read a sign the other day that said, "A face without freckles is like a night without stars." :0)
That's a great quote, Janet. I'll share it with Olivia. Thanks!
I'm reading "Anne of Green Gables" right now and her poem reminded me of that book! Maybe she'd like watching the show?
Thanks, Laura. Good suggestion. I love Anne of Greene Gables and we're always looking for more books to read.
