Sahlin Studio | Digital Scrapbooking Designs

Back when I paper scrapped, I always finished my kid’s scrapbooks with a picture of them and I paired it with a poem. Yep, I always paired it with the very same poem at the end of each book. It was a poem I found in the book, “The Ultimate Guide to Celebrating Kids”, who based it off of a poem written by: Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

I just felt it summed up my love for them and I would get teary each time I read it.
I hope this poem inspires you just as much.

How do I Love You…
let me count the ways
i love you for this minute
and all the rest of my days.

i love you with our heart,
and know that it is true.
there is no greater joy,
than the love I have for you.

i love you as a baby,
and every day to come
you are the greatest blessing
so awesome, and such fun.

forever I will love you
and hold you close to me.
for all you are is everything
a mother could ever need.

I love you with a love so grand
and treasure every day
when you reach out your little hand
we’ll make memories, we’ll play

for in his infinite wisdom
God brought our love together
a lifetime isn’t enough
Thank goodness we’ll have forever.
