Poem or song for parent album

DH and I are hand-making our parents albums and we finally found a cute one at Michael's the other day for my parents.

The pages are 8x8 which is perfect for the 5x7's we'll be putting in and I bought some pretty double-sided cardstock with a subtle pattern to be the background for each photo.

I wanted the first page of the album to be something personalized and found some poems. Many of them I just didn't like for various reasons, some were too sappy, too simple...

I found one that starts with 'When you thought I wasn't looking' and changed all the lines to be specific things I remembered from childhood.

I like it but I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. A song or a poem, something you may be using yourself?

Copycat!

I was going to just slide the photos in the pages but I think I might have to affix them to the cardstock somehow. I have 2 different kinds of craft glue but I'm a little worried that it will ruin the paper or photopaper over time.
