Let them be little

At Ec's graduation last week they had a slide show. The last song was called let them be little. It was one of those songs that if a bunch of people were not around I would have balled my eyes out. I am putting the song lyrics at the end of the post. I did hear the song again today and I did cry like a little baby. I can't beleive Ecwill be in Kindergarten and Ella is definetely not a baby anymore. I love the stage they are at right now, and would not trade it for anything,but it is bittersweet. They fill my life with so much joy each day. As I type right now they are pretending to have their high school graduation. They have so much fun pretending to be teenagers, but I know I will blink and they will really be teenagers. I am so blessed to have these two amazing gifts from God in my life.
Let Them Be little

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.You felt so good in it; no bigger than a minute.How it amazes me you're changin' with every blink.Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon. So let them be little,'Cause they're only that way for a while.Give 'em hope, give them praise,Give them love every day.Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,Let 'em sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little. I never felt so much in one little tender touch.I live for those kisses, your prayers an' your wishes.An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see.Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is: Please, let them be little,'Cause they're only that way for a while.Give them hope, give them praise,Give them love every day.Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,Let 'em sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little.The so innocent, precious soul:You turn around, an' it's time to let them go. So let them be little,'Cause they're only that way for a while.Give them hope, give 'em praise,Give them love every day.Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,Let them sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little. Let them be little

I've heard that before, I think at Finn's preschool graduation, but it has been a while. Tears comes every time I hear it ....
