Becoming a parent is one of best things that has ever happened to me. It has totally changed the way I look at things and given me a new perspective on life. I have learned more about my self in the last 2 months, than I have in my last 24 years of existence. Olivia has helped me to understand the kind of love that my parents have for me. They would do anything for me to make sure that I am taken care of. Growing up, I was never in need of anything because my parents worked so hard to provide for us. I never really understood why, but now I get it. A parent wants the best for their children and will do whatever it takes to ensure that their children are taken care of, even if it means sacrificing for them. It is my hope, that as a parent, Olivia will grow up knowing that she is loved very much. I pray, that with God's help, we will be able to raise her in such a way that she knows that she can do big things in life and dream big dreams, and that we will do whatever it takes to make sure that our love gives her roots and helps her find her wings.
This is my song to my precious Olivia...
Find Your Wings
By Mark Harris
It's only for a moment
You are mine to hold
The plans that heavens 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 want to know
You're walking in the truth
And if I never told you
I want you to know
That 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 your strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh but more than memories
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
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
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
