The Sweetest Song

Have you heard the song Find Your Wings by Mark Harris? I love it... it seems to say so clearly what Everett and I wish for Ellie... I've included part of it below. Everett is already making fun of me because this song makes me cry - I guess I have some extra hormones left from pregnancy and childbirth :) I can already tell that Ellie looks different and that she is growing so fast...















Find Your Wings by Mark Harris

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

PS - Note that Ellie's umbilical cord came off this week - We love her Ellie button (Other people have belly buttons, but she has an Ellie button :) Posted by Picasa
