Love from Head to Toe

Why were you given those great big eyes?
To open wide with great surprise!
Why were you given that curious nose?
to sniff and smell what nature grows!
Why were you given two juicy lips?
to smack & lick & whistle & kiss!
Why were you given a chinny chin chin?
to have something to shake you're laughin'!
Why were you given wrap-around shoulders?
to cuddle close when the night gets colder.
Why were you given two windey arms?
to shelter another from earthly harms.
Why were you given each and every finger?
to touch and tickle and softly linger.
Why were you given a strong proud chest?
to breathe in deep and do your best!
Why were you given a belly so round?
so food can fall all the way down down down!
Why were you given that booty of a bottom?
so chairs have something to sit upon 'em!
Why were you given those stout little legs?
to follow wherever a furry friend begs.
Why were you given those bendy knees?
to jump and roll and tumble with ease!
And why was each leg given an ankle?
to bend down when you're feelin' thankful.
Why were you given those fast little feet?
to skip to your very own heartbeat!
And why were your feet given such teeny toes?
to gently tread where another's heart goes.
And guess why your heart's the most important of all?
so that love has a nice soft place to fall.
And why, oh why, were we given you?
to give love something WONDERFUL to do!
