Words for my boys - The Heart of Life

I heard this song while slow dancing in the living room with Mr. Cooper.  He was blissfully sleepy and cuddled in my arms.  And the words fit so perfectly for the  moment I was sharing with him.  Looking at this baby in my arms.  All of his life ahead of him.  My wish for my children above all else is to know love and see life for all it's possibilities.  I especially love the line about "No it won't all go the way it should...but I know the heart of life is good." How true a statement.

Owen and Cooper,  if you are one day looking back at things on this blog...or things I've said to you.  Maybe you're pouring over some scrapbook...or a card I left you...or of life is just tough for you at the moment...I hope you come across these words. I could pick no more perfect words to send you into the world with.  There is nothing truer about the way I view life. Thank you for being the heart of my life. Momma

"The Heart Of Life"

I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears
And listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

You know, it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then, circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
