I Can't Wait

Through MOPS, I received the book "The Mommy Diaries" which is just a collection of very short stories written by all types of moms. Some are funny, some are encouraging and some just make you want to cry. I love it because they are short so I can just read one or two before I go to bed. In the opening chapter, the editor had the lyrics to a song by Sara Groves and I just loved them. It reminded me that it is not all about us teaching things to our kids - they teach us so much. My photo of the week this week is of my two "teachers" that so far have taught me more than I ever imagined possible!

side note - I went and listened to the song but was kind of disappointed because musically it wasn't nearly as great as I was hoping, but oh well!

I Can't Wait
by Sara Groves

When you reach the proper age
I will teach you to read and you can turn the pages
How to dress and tie your shoes
Your one plus ones, and your two times two's
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that I have lost along the way
And I can't wait

As you grow, I'll show you things
How to ride your bike and kick your legs out on the swings
To fold your hands and bow your head
How to say your prayers before you go to bed
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that I have lost along the way
And I can't wait

How do you sleep so peacefully?
How do you trust unflinchingly?
How do you love so faithfully?
How do you dance so joyfully?
Oh you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important (essential) things
And all that i have lost along the way
And I can't
No I can't
Come teach me
Of love and dreams
And all the most essential thing
And all that I have lost along the way
Cause I can't wait
