FOREVER YOUNG

 i came to the realization today that this year in a few short months i will be 27! yeah that's right, closer to 30 than 20 and as i was literally shocked! i sat and sat and thought, could that really be right, i did the math just to make sure i hadn't forgotten a year somewhere in there or added a few extra somehow and well, nope i didn't. it was real. 

i did a little reflecting of what my life has held and well, in those 26 years, quite a bit. and as i looked at the little one today i couldn't help but think of this song over and over and over again and just hope that she and our little family will "stay forever young." 

some of my favorite lines are these:

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

i don't think they need much explanation, but they ring very true to my ears these days! i am grateful to feel joy in my heart and to have busy hands!

ENJOY!


May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
