In my CHILDREN's eyes....

There is a Martina McBride song called In My Daughter's Eyes which I love....of course because I love Martina McBride.  Last week I heard this song coming on and I said I dedicate this song to my girls Sarah and Lily...and poor Kurtis said...well what about your SON!!  So I explained the song and blah blah blah....later I was thinking about the song and how it is a fantastic representation of how I think our children see us as mothers...or parents in general.  SO the next day I said I dedicate this song to my children....and I looked back (cause we were in the van were I can see Kurtis in the rear view mirror) and saw him listening.  This time instead of singing the song word for word I replaced the word daughter with children. It fits....anyways Kurtis started laughing so hard and just said I love you mom!! Now every time the song comes on we switch it to children eyes and they all love it so much!!

Here are the lyric as they are in the original song for you to enjoy....and a link to the video.

In my daughter's eyes I am a heroI am strong and wise and I know no fearBut the truth is plain to seeShe was sent to rescue meI see who I wanna be in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equalDarkness turns to light and the world is at peaceIt's miracle God gave to meGives me strength when I am weakI find reason to believe in my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my fingerOh, it puts a smile in my heartEverything becomes a little clearerI realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enoughIt's giving more when you feel like giving upI've seen the lightIt's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the futureA reflection of who I am and what will beAn' though she'll grow and someday leave, maybe raise a familyWhen I'm gone I hope you see how happy she made meFor I'll be there in my daughter's eyes
And of course...photos of the children I sing to!!  Love them all very very much!!!
