A voice from upstairs
says "good morning"  
and it will be.

Glide up stairs,
say "good morning"  
and it will be.  

These first too chunks are far too redundant to me, and since I personally love the "say good morning, and it will be" bits, the "upstairs/up stairs" being in both parts is what makes it so. I understand the difference between the two, hence the space in one and not the other, but the repetition of that 'stairs' sound in such a short span of time is bothersome. I think you have enough creative juice to obliterate the recurrence of that line in the second paragraph altogether and come up with something new that inserts a new sound and doesn't disrupt the bounce of your poem.

Hear "I love you"  
and "I missed you".

Be loved and love  
clean flannel sheets and  
and a favorite mug.

Be loved and love  
love (<--just a tad unecessary) and "I love you"  
and "I missed you"  
and "good morning"  
and it will be.

Something to think about... Since you started off this paragraph with verbs, maybe keep that going through to the end? Like:
Be loved and love
and say "I love you"
and "I missed you"
and "Good morning"
and it will be.

I believe it would make just as much sense, because the action taking place in the first line, and then the absence of action in the second, third, and fourth just throws things off for me.

I thought this poem was fabulous! I very much adore simplistic poems like this, and the bit about the clean sheets and the favorite mug brought it all the way home for me. Good job, you.
