I took some verses from Maryann Cusimano’s book/poem “You are My I Love You” & added my favorite ones to the picture above. I would love to make a print with portions of these verses for the girl’s room.
Another lovely, lovely poem.
Here it is in full:
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 carriage ride;
you are my king.
I am your push;
you are my swing.
I am your audience;
you are my clown.
I am your London Bridge;
you are my falling down.
I am your carrot sticks;
you are my licorice.
I am your dandelion;
you are my first wish.
I am your water wings;
you are my deep.
I am your open arms;
you are my running leap.
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 finish line;
you are my race.
I am your praying hands;
you are my saving grace.
I am your favorite book;
you are my new lines.
I am your night-light;
you are my starshine.
I am your lullaby;
you are my peekaboo.
I am your goodnight kiss;
you are my I love you.





I have been wanting to do something with this poem for the boys room. Great idea:)
Oh Lacy – this made me cry. I love the picture and the poem. Wow… I think I’m gonna use this for Braddock’s “moments” mini book (the one you are sending me). I’ve gotta get that book – thanks for sharing!
