4th (?) time through, we listened to AP read aloud on FB live. He cried at the end, so I cried, then got mad about Certain Things but was still crying bc it's so beautiful.

The winter is whispering, "green and gold,"
And the heart is whispering, too.
It's a story the Maker has always told,
And the story, my child, is true.

*more crying*
