What they cant say, but we already know!
 
 Mommy, mommy ...
      Please come here
 let me whisper in your ear.
 I have a secret ...
   only you can know...
 mommy, mommy...
    I love you so!
 
 nuzzles, kisses and
    nibbles too...
 say each day how much I know you do.
 
 I hope you know im greatful
 ... for all the poop you clean
 and mommy, when I chew on you..
 ..........  Im not trying to be mean.
 
 I hope you know I love you
 ... for all the times you stay.
 When others want to see you
 ... and drag your heart away.
 
 I hope you know
 Im only having fun
 when I dump out the trash
 and ... umm... RUN!
 
 I hope you know Im thankful
 ... for all the things you make
 the hammoks and the bedding
 ... Did you make the socks I take?
 
 I hope you know I try
 really really hard
 to poop in the right corner
 but sometimes I ummm... Forget?
 
 I hope you know how happy
 ... I am when your close by...
 cuz mommy, I love you...
 I love you that's why!
 
 So the next time that I bite to hard
 while we are hard at play
 Or throw out all the trash
 and war dance back to play.
 Or the next time I am crabby
 or poop in the wrong place
 The next time I jump from the tub
 and get shampoo all over your face...
 
 Remember the secret I whispered
 quietly in your ear...
 that special one for you alone
 and only you to hear.
 
 Its this and its quite simple
 I notice all you do...
 and Mommy...
 
         I LOVE YOU, TOO!!
