My I love you

A friend recently posted a piece of this poem on her blog and it seemed to capture so much of the joy and challenges as a parent. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

                                               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 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 y,ou 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 favourite book, you are my new lines.
I am your nightlight, you are my sunshine.
I am your lullaby, you are my peek-a-boo.
I am your kiss goodnight, you are my I love you.
