You are my mother,

I am your child.

You are my quiet place,

I am your wild.

You are my calm face,

I am your wiggle.

You are my dinner,

I am your chocolate cake.

You are my bedtime,

I am your wide awake.

You are my lullaby,

I am your peekaboo.

You are my goodnight kiss,

I am your I love you!

This would be SO good as a children's book! The only line that seems out of place is "You are my calm face,/I am your wiggle". That line doesn't have anything to rhyme with it, which is unfortunate because the vision of a wiggling baby is SO dang cute. So cute. Otherwise, adorable poem.
