In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

This song has been out for a while, and I've heard it many times before, but not recently. For obvious reasons, it struck a different chord with me this time. Luckily, John was in the car with me because if he wouldn't have been there, I would have had a breakdown. It's such a beautiful way to put to words some of the tangled mess of feelings inside me. Every time I look into her eyes, or even her sweet, sleeping face, I can't tell you how overwhelmed I get with joy, fear, gratitude, love, sadness, excitement, hope. It's all there. In my daughter's eyes.

WOW! What a wonderful thing to come upon this morning... LOVE IT!!
AND I felt that way about my daughters, and son.
Babies/Children/grown up friends are wonderful, I also thought of the song we sing in church.. "May those who come behind us Faithful.." and I apply that to ALL of life.
God Bless, Gramps and I could use a Julia/Jess pick-me-up IF you have time and it isn't tooo cold out for her.
Till next time...
It sure can be overwhelming as a mom sometimes. I'm really having a hard time lately with the whole working mom thing. I'm having separation anxiety I guess. I'm just getting stressed. It's a hard balancing act between work, housework, and the roles as a wife and mother. But even with all of the stress, sometimes just to look at my baby gives me that uplift that I need.
