Child Of Mine

We're on the countdown to Graduation now...a little less than 30 hours to go. The sentimental part is coming out in me and each time I look at one of the pictures of the girls, I get a little teary-eyed. How is it possible that 18 years have gone by already. It seems like only yesterday I was told to go on bedrest and now here we are. How did we get here so quickly?

A while back I heard a song by Carole King called "Child Of Mine" and it's perfect for how I feel regarding our beautiful, intelligent, funny & caring daughters.

CHILD OF MINE

Although you see the world different from me

Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see

All the new colors and pictures you've designed

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

You don't need direction, you know which way to go

And I don't want to hold you back, I just want to watch you grow

You're the one who taught me you don't have to look behind

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

Or tell you how to live your life

There'll always be people to make it hard for a while

But you'll change their heads when they see you smile

The times you were born in may not have been the best

But you can make the times to come better than the rest

I know you will be honest if you can't always be kind

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine, child of mine

Oh yes, sweet darling

I'm so glad you are a child of mine
