My Mother's Day wish for my children

So, with Mother's Day tomorrow, I wanted to write something for my children. Tonight at church, this was one of the songs we sang, and if you know me, yes, I cried. For those of you that really know me, I'm crying now as I'm writing this...I'm such a sentimental sob! But, since it put to music exactly what I feel, I'll just rewrite the lyrics here...because it says exactly what's in my heart....even on the days the kids really, really, really test me :o) , and by the way, the pictures below are from the day I took the kids to the Melting Pot, and they were testing me then too! You can see by the looks on Wil's face, they were all getting along splendidly.....but memories we did create! ( I do have the song in my playlist as well if you want to "hear" it, courtesy of Mark Harris, "Find Your Wings")




It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And if I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow



I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings



May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories



It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly

Love,
Mom
