MY FACE story

I draw two eyes
with my sharp pencil.

They can see through the window.

Even help me count fingers
and toes.
"TEN!"

They watch you all day.

Next I draw a rose
that smells a fluffy rose.

Here comes my dog
with wet fur.
"PHEW!"

Your baking from the
kitchen
curls like chimney smoke.
“YUMMY!”

Two large circles look like
elephant ears.
They can hear sounds
of butterfly wings.

Listen! My striped ball
Is bouncing.
"BUMP! BUMP!"

I even hear footsteps
when you come
to tuck me in
at night.

My face is like a
painting on
the wall.

Or a wave on a lake.

And a little mouth
that says,
"I LOVE YOU!"
