Your Personal Penguin Wedding Reading

Everyone knows that you become a personal penguin when you get married, right? Just kidding. Your Personal Penguin by Sandra Boynton is a children’s poem about being there for someone through thick and thin. It’s based on the fact that penguins mate for life and only have one partner forever. How adorable! If you have your own children or would like to involve nieces, nephews, cousins, or godchildren in your ceremony, this could be a great reading for them! So as always, we’ll have a free printable copy of this reading for you ready to go.

Your Personal Penguin

by Sandra Boynton

I like you a lot
You’re funny and kind
So let me explain
What I have in mind.

I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to walk right by your side
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to travel with you far and wide

Wherever you go, I’ll go there too
Here and there and ev’rywhere
And always with you
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
From now on

Now lots of other penguins seem to do fine
In a universe of nothing but ice
But if I could be yours and you could be mine
A cozy little world would be twice as nice

I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to talk with you night and day
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
I want to listen to whatever you say

Look at these wings, so perfect to hold you
I'd like to say again
What I have already told you
Let me be Your Personal Penguin

Form now on
Now lots of other penguins seem to do fine
In a universe of nothing but ice
But if I could be yours and you could be mine

A cozy little world would be twice as nice
I want to be (want to be) Your Personal Penguin
I want to walk right by your side
I want to be (want to be) Your Personal Penguin

I want to travel with you far and wide
Wherever you go, I'll go there too
Here and there and ev'rywhere
And always with you

I want to be Your Personal Penguin
Imagine me, Your Personal Penguin
I want to be Your Personal Penguin
From now on
