I Love ___ (My Tom T. Hall Tribute)




I just found out the "The Storyteller" died this past Friday. Since the beloved Tom T. Hall poetically shared with us what he loved in his song, "I Love," I decided I would share things too that I love as a tribute to him. I am no Tom T. Hall but I adore this song enough to put myself out there for him as he always did for us. So, here it goes:


I love fireflies flickering in the dark, slowly strolling through the park

Ice cream on a hot afternoon, and the moon

I love owls hooting into the night, children giggling with delight

The smell of coffee in the morning, and exploring

And I love you too


I love walking barefoot in the grass, remembering loved ones that have passed

Art that speaks to me, and the sea

I love classic muscle cars, bands that play in bars

Clouds that look like shapes, and grapes

And I love you too


I love when a good song comes on the radio, lazy days when there is nowhere 

you have to go,

A candlelit church on Christmas Eve, and trees

I love a cool breeze on an Autumn day, when things just seem to go your way

Dragonflies gliding through the sky, and pie

And I love you too Mr. Hall
