My friend Melanie sent these lyrics to me right after I had Sadie, and I just haven't been able to stop thinking about them lately. I know that my babies won't be babies forever... they won't even be babies for very long. I'm trying so hard to "seize
the day," I guess you could say. I feel like I'm living on borrowed time... like they're going to be taken from me or something, even if it's only because they're growing up. Sigh. I love being a mommy. Loving these girls is like nothing I've ever done before... I think that being a parent is a great illustration that God has given us so that we can see just how much He loves us. I never knew how much He loved me until I had a child of my own. Thinking about the fact that He loves ME even more than I love Sadie and Josie? It's incomprehensible. But it's awesome. (And I don't mean that in the "Ninja Turtle" awesome way). Read these words, and see what you think!Natalie Merchant/ Christian Burial Music © 1992
these are days you'll remember
never before and never since, I promise
will the whole world be warm as this
and as you feel it, you'll know it's true
that you are blessed and lucky
it's true, that you are touched by something
that will grow and bloom in you
these are days you'll remember
when May is rushing over you with desire
to be part of the miracles you see in every hour
you'll know it's true, that you are blessed and lucky
it's true, that you are touched by something
that will grow and bloom in you
these are the days
that you might fill with laughter
until you break
these days you might feel a shaft of light
make its way across your face
and when you do
you'll know how it was meant to be
see the signs and know their meaning
you'll know how it was meant to be
hear the signs and know they're speaking to you....to you
