Beside You I Stand

I've had trouble getting a post out this week. Both of my boys have been sick. Nathan started breaking out with a rash last night and he had been running fever for 5 days, so I began to suspect strep throat. We took both boys to the Dr. today, and sure enough, my diagnosis was correct. So hopefully with with this antibiotic they will quickly be on the mend. I thought I would share with you tonight the lyrics of a song that I wrote for my boys. I was trying to let them know that even though I had to leave and go to work, that I would always have them in my heart.

This is my vision of heaven.

Pictured here are all 3 of my reasons for living,

or at least the 3 most important ones.

"Beside You I Stand"

In the morning when you awake,

Oh my love, don't be afraid.

Even though, I'm not there,

Oh my love, just know I care.

It's alright it's all ok.

Because my love is here to stay.

Don't you worry, don't be afraid.

'Cause right beside you is where I'll stay.

These miles between us, they are long.

But all this distance will make us strong.

Although I'll miss you, please understand

That right beside you is where I'll stand.

It's alright it's all ok.

Because my love is here to stay.

Don't you worry, don't be afraid.

'Cause right beside you is where I'll stay.

So when it's night fall, and time for sleep,

Just close your eyes and dream of me.

'Cause I'll be driving until it's day,

And right beside you is where I'll stay.

It's alright it's all ok.

Because my love is here to stay.

Don't you worry, don't be afraid.

'Cause right beside you is where I'll stay.

Yes, right beside you is where I'll stay.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines's Day. And remember, it's not the gift, but the amount of love you share that matters.
