Find your wings

A very awesome friend sent me a song this morning and I swear I have listened to this song about 15 times already. She said she thought of me and my daughter when she heard it. My daughter just turned 16 in June and she is well on her way to being an awesome young lady just as her mother is. I love her dearly and really regret missing out on a large portion of her life due to poor decisions on my part. All I will say about that for now is that if anyone has a young child and is a single dad...or mother for that matter......don't choose the bars and clubs over time that could have been spent being sober and enjoying seeing your child grow. I cannot get those years back for anything but I know if I am ever in the position to share another childs younger years ....I KNOW what choice I will take. She and I have our moments for sure and a lot of it is a bit of contempt for me not being there but also a lot of it I am sure is me trying to OVER correct the past. I love you Mallory and as my great friend so graciously said.....it IS such a beautiful song. The artist is Mark Harris and the song is Find Your Wings.

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

Chorus: 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 you strong

Guide you on your way

May there be many moments

That make your life so sweet

Oh, but more than memories

Chorus:

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

Chorus

Thanks so much my dear friend for sharing the song with me. One of these days I would also like to share a short poem written by Mallory's mom for her 16th birthday. They are both such loving and caring people. As soon as I get the old computer going again I will share that. Please remind me to share this.....ok?:P

Sitting here at 8:34 waiting on the guys to fix my sheetrock (they were going to be here at 7:30)....Hope everyone has a great day!!
