song #5

my dad text stopped by my work this week to give me a little gift he has bought for me. inside the gift bag was a card. i opened the card first. in it he told he how proud he is of me. and that he knows there is a special child out there for gordon and me. and that he can't wait to spoil them. he ended by telling me that he knows i will make an awesome mother. and that he loved me. song #5 was also written in the bottom left hand corner of the card. i looked inside the bag to see a cd...garth brooks. now, i don't listen to country music every day.  but there are a few country artists that i really like. and 90s country sorta has a special place in my heart (thanks to my dad). i put the cd in my computer and went to track number 5. mom.
Little baby told God hey I'm kind of scared.
Don't really know if I want to go down there.
From here it looks like a little blue ball
That’s a great big place and I'm so small.
Why can't I just stay here with you?
Did I make you mad, don't you want me too?
God said oh child of course I do
But there’s somebody special waiting for you

So hush now little baby, don't you cry
Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

You'll never have a better friend
Or a warmer touch to tuck you in
She'll kiss your bruises your bumps and scrapes
And anytime you hurt
Her heart’s gonna break

So hush now little baby, don't you cry
'Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
It's almost time to go and meet your mom.

And when she's talking to you make sure you listen close
She's gonna teach you everything you'll ever need to know
Like how to mind your manners, to love and laugh and dream
She'll put you on the path that bring you back to me

So, hush now little baby, don't you cry
Cause there's someone down there waiting whose only goal in life
Is making sure you're always gonna be alright
A loving angel tender tough and strong
Come on child it's time to meet your mom

my dad said that when he first heard this song he began to cry.  

it reminded him of me. 

now i have yet to get through this song without crying.  

it touches my heart so deeply that my dad thought of me when he heard it.

people are answers to prayers.

i know for a fact that my dad is an answer to my prayers.

just another reminder from my heavenly father that he hears my prayers.

and i think that's pretty special.

and that my dad is pretty special, too.
