Is anyone familiar w/ the author &/or title of the poem that includes lines like "I love you for who/what you are, but also for what I am when I am with you", and "that you reached into my heaped up heart and ..... all the good things that no one else had looked quite hard enough to find". I'd appreciate any help soon! Thanks!

said to be by mrs. browning :

Love You

I love you not only for what you are
but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have
made of yourself but for what you are
making of me. I love you for the part
of me that you bring out.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

not very original, are they ?

said to be by mr. Brunson, or mr. Croft ( sic)
.
I love u not only for what u are, but for what i am when I am with you!.' I love you , not only for what u have made of yourself, but for what u are making of me! '

I Love u, Not only for what You have made of yourself but for what u are making of me. I Love u, For the part of me That u bring out; I love u For putting your hand Into my heaped up heart And passing over All the foolish, weak things that u can't help Dimly seeing there, and drawing out into the light all the beauriful belongings That no-one else had looked quite hard enough to find. I love u because u are helping me to make out of the lumber of my life Not a tavern, But a temple; Out of works of my every day, Not a reproach But a song.

poem by Roy Croft.

................................
I Love You God
Not only for what You are, but for what I am
When I am with You.

I Love You
For being God Almighty and what You have made of Yourself
But also for what You are making of me.

I Love You
For the part in me that You bring out,
And how You saw that I could be a vessel
For the Everlasting Light, which is Jesus

I Love You
For putting Your Hand in my sinful heart,
And passing over all the foolish weak things,
That You can't help dimly seeing there and

Drawing out into the light the beautiful belongings
Of You that no one else had looked quite hard enough to find.
You have done it with a Touch, with a Word, with your son Jesus

By being God and giving your Son Jesus to die for me

That is what true friendship is all about.


Lord God help me to be this loving and caring and give my life,

As a living sacrifice that someone may see the Love

That You have given me through Christ Jesus


God, I Love You

In Jesus Name

Your Son John

Author John H. Brunson Jr

the fact is I do not believe it is by mrs. browning ...
so, when you ask for the complete text, I have to relay on the internet :
.
“I Love You”, by Roy Croft

“I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you, for the part of me that you bring out. I love you, for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart, and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can’t help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out, into the light, all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you, because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life, not a tavern, but a temple. Out of the works of my every day, not a reproach, but a song. I love you, because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy. You have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all.”
