Sort of Off-topic - need a poem/song/etc for photo book

[aprilfoolwed]

This really does have to do with budgets because we are opting to do photo books as "budget" gifts for the grandparents this year. I want to make them nice, and I was thinking about having a poem or song lyrics or quote throughout the book, with pictures interspersed.

I would love something about family, or children and I just can't think of anything (and that's bad because I have a degree in literature! LOL).

Can anyone help me out here? Closest I have come is All Things Bright and Beautiful.

Or maybe something A.A. Milne (loving Pooh!).

????

Help????

I did different quotes throughout this year's album that related to the photo spread it went on. I didn't try to do one throughout, makes it a little easier.

I don't know the entire poem and if it is appropriate, but I did a verse from Shel Silverstein about playing hug o'war instead of tug o'war. You could search online for that.

My dad had several old songs he has always sang through my life and I put some verses of those where appropriate.

Return To Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins
Let Them Be Little by Billy Dean
Oh, How The Years Go By by Vanessa Williams
Little Wonders by Rob Thomas

I've used these songs on a few family/kid dvd slide shows and they seem to be well received.
