Today, not my words, but someone elses’.
You are My I Love You by Maryann K Cusimano.
“I am your parent; you are my child.
I am your quiet place; you are my wild.
“I am your calm face; you are my giggle.
I am your wait; you are my wiggle.
“…I am your carrot sticks; you are my licorice.
I am your dandelion; you are my first wish
“…I am your way home; you are my new path.
I am your dry towel; you are my wet bath.
“I am your dinner; you are my chocolate cake.
I am your bedtime; you are my wide awake.
“…I am your lullaby, you are my peekaboo.
I am your good-night kiss; you are my I love you.
So perfect !!
Just what I needed to read on a frustrating morning. Thanks for the reminder that I am a safe place for my girls, and they are FUN for me. Sometimes it’s easy to forget these facts, in the frustrations of the day. Thank you!
How did I get such an amazing wife?? You are wonderful my bride and I love you.
Thank you for your faithful posts. I know I am one of many that look forward to reading what you write daily.

Thank you for sharing..it was beautiful & your girls are darling!
i love that. so perefect.
I must know where you found that poem. Is it a children’s book?
Seriously, could Chad be any sweeter?
This is part of a children’s book my parents got for Hope called “You Are My I Love You” and I mentioned the author in the post. I quoted about half of the book. It is quite sweet and last night when I read it to her before bed, I almost cried.
This is my very favorite kids book!
A favorite to give.
“I am your quiet place you are my wild.”
So true for today.
That is perfect. Layers of perfect.
The “wild” part is my favorite too, Denise. It describes both of my wild-child girls. =)
Sarah,
Just found your blog via a comment you left on someone else’s post. From the moment I saw your header title and photo, I knew I would enjoy reading. Beautiful photos, beautiful prose. I’ll be back soon!
