At their recent wedding, my niece and her new husband included a beautiful poem by Mr. Fred Rogers (yes, that Mr. Rogers), in the ceremony called "It’s You I Like". Can you say that you like yourself? Need some help with that? Partners in Healing offers individual, couples, and family therapy. Give us a call at 763-546-5797.
It's You I Like
by Fred M. Rogers
It's you I like,
It's not the things you wear,
It's not the way you do your hair--
But it's you I like.
The way you are right now,
The way down deep inside you--
Not the things that hide you,
Not your toys--
They're just beside you.
But it's you I like--
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings
Whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
Even when you're feeling blue
That it's you I like,
It's you yourself,
It's you, it's you I like.
It's You I Like
