"Godspeed"
When I was pregnant with Caleb and sewing up a storm I listened to tons of music. It was while I was sewing something for his room that I first heard the song Godspeed by the Dixie Chicks. We had found out we were having a little boy, but I was still feeling a lack of bonding with the little guy. This song brought tears to my eyes as I tried to imagine life with my little boy and singing a song like this to him some day.
Well I'm 11 weeks along and still forget I'm pregnant sometimes. I think I've given in more to my fears and anxieties about having 2 kids so close together that I let those fears rob me of my joy about being pregnant. Bob played Godspeed for me last night, and all those excited feelings for Caleb's arrival came back. I am really starting to get excited that we are pregnant and hope to stop giving into my fears so much and trust that God knows exactly what he's doing and that he is taking care of us.
Here's the lyrics to "Godspeed":
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you
Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

I love that song by the Dixie Chicks! I am sure that it brings on a lot more meaning and emotion with being a mom to a little boy.

What a beautiful little boy. I came across your' web-cite & thought I'd thank you for sharing this song by the Dixie Chicks. I will pass it on to my sisters who have sons. God Bless you & your' family.
