Being the music type very often a song will strike a chord (no pun intended) in me. Recently there has been a song on the radio station I listen to that sends me to the kleenex box every time I hear it. I look at my handsom son as he is growing up so quickly and I think of the daughter we will soon have. This song reminds me of what an honor it is to be a parent and what my ultimate task is - difficult though it may be; I am here to give roots to my child(ren) in order that they might find their wings. I hope that the words touch you as they did me. ~T

Find Your Wings

It's only for a moment that 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've never told you I want you to know that as I watch you grow

I pray that God will 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 moves you through your days

and may convictions keep you strong guide you on your way

May there be many moments that make your life so sweet

but more then memories

I pray that God will 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

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky

I'll have tears as you take off

But I'll cheer you as you fly

I will give you roots and help you find your wings.
