Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy
(or maybe that was trepidation?./ ed)
stream down my face
…..
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he’s not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open……
This song came out years after my first child, my son Brian, was born. But it captures all the feelings, and emotions that flowed through me all at once, and for many months!
Oh, and don’t worry Amanda Whittaker,it’s not a slight…. but there’s only one first……
