Right Now

Inspired by Ali

• AJ wears a sleeper, but not for long. Blowout diapers require lots of wardrobe changes these days.
• Walker is happy to share the bed with his little brother. I'm amazed how well these two get along. My crazy dog is playing the big brother role well.
  
• My bed is made because she told me it would help me stay sane as a new mama. So far I'm thinking she's right.
  
• I can't remember who I was before I was AJ's mama. Maybe a little sleep would help me regain my memory.
  

The One Who Knows

Time it was I had a dream
You're the dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you

I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became
A miracle to me

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done
You'll be the one who knows

All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest ones
I will watch you struggle on
Before the answers come

But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done
You'll be the one who knows

Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I want to teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own

But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by so fast

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done
You'll be the one who knows
