Tomorrow is the anniversary of my son's birth...
34 years ago...in a land far, far away...
I was 17, and happy...
naive, and new to the world,
I had only just begun my journey.
Married the day after my 17th birthday,
because 16 was way, way, to young,
it just made sense, that 17 would always
be much easier to say how old I was
when I first married.
It was amazing...I remember the
first time he was in my arms...
"He's so beautiful!"
I would think all mothers must feel that
first bond of love with their newborns.
Asking my Granny, years ago, if she remembered
her children being born...she said
"No, not really."
So I was determined to remember.
Thank you Granny for that.
It's an amazing thing, to think they
just hand over this brand new life to you.
It's yours, well, for awhile anyway.
You get to '~own~' them for such a short time.
It truly goes too fast.
And if we all could only realize how
truly amazing it is, while it's new,
maybe it'd never get old...maybe we'd
never forget that first burst of love.
If all children could be loved so dearly,
If all children never had to feel fear...
Maybe there would be more amazing people
in the world like my son.
I share this love, and would say to
all parents...love your children unconditionally.
Make sure they know how much they are loved.
If we raise loving children, they will
become loving adults...love begets love...
"And what a Wonderful World this could be..."
