why are there no butterfly kisses songs for boys and moms?


here's one God gave me while I was in prayer...
i really like it, it has become my heartsong whenever i worry about letting go of landon, leave it to GOD to turn  my worry into comforting music....






"Trading Hands"

I remember the first time
I held his hand
"Man," they said.."what a grip he has"...

I held it again, as we crossed the street
Trying so hard to keep him close to me.

And I've held on just as long as I can
I know I cannot stop him
From making his plans
But if Im losing my grip, Lord
One thing's for sure

If he's letting go
I pray he's trading my hand,
For Yours.

I remember holding his hand
Up to my own
A way we could measure, how much he'd grown

As time went on, all could see
He held my hand less and less it seemed

I remember teaching him how to fold his hands in prayer
and holding them tightly when he was scared

The time's getting closer where I must let go
One things for certain
Im gonna take it      s   l    o     w  ......  

And I'll hold on just as long as I can
And I know I cant stop him from being man
But if I'm losing my grip, Lord
One things for sure

If he's letting go
I pray he's trading my hand
For Yours

Help him hold on
Help him hold on
Help him hold on
 
To Yours...
