Today's song

As most of you know, I love music. Some of you think I am a veritable encyclopedia of song lyrics. :) Maybe. I was raised by parents who loved music, and they instilled that love into us kids. Although, my dad feels he failed miserably with me since I have a love of alternative rock that dismays him to no end. ;) Heehee Poor Dad!

Anyway, so I love this song. It helps me remember that there IS a reason and a rhyme to this whole adoption thing. Our two sweet kids ARE meant to be with us...it wasn't a random thing that they were placed in our home. At all. It is part of a greater, grander design. I still remember the very first moment I saw Nate...the jump of my heart and the feeling of recognition. The feeling of, "Oh! THERE you are! I've been looking for you!" We have been chosen to be adoptive parents to our kids. And we are prepared and qualified to help them face the unique challenges they will face in life.



I was crying on the phone to my mom a couple years ago, in despair over how to help Lizzie. I said, "I know she was sent to me because I am supposed to help her through this. I just don't know what else to do!" My wise mom (who I miss with every beat of my heart--oh Momma!) replied, "You are her mom! You will know how to help her. You're a good mom. Just trust yourself." We're all good moms, whether we're adoptive moms or biological moms. And we all have a unique love for our children. And we've been put in their lives--each of us--for a special reason.


Lyrics:

Well, I know there's a reason
And I know there's a rhyme
We were meant to be together
And that's why

We can roll with the punches
We can stroll hand in hand
And when I say it's forever
You understand

That you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
But when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way

I could have turned a different corner
I could have gone another place
Then I'd of never had this feeling
That I feel today, yeah

And you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh

And you're always in my heart
You're always on my mind
And when it all becomes too much
You're never far behind

And there's no one
That comes close to you
Could ever take your place
'Cause only you can love me this way
Ooh

Only you can love me this way
