Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)

 So I used to sing this song to my baby boy every night . . . love it. Makes me cry every time I hear it . . . there is just something so special about a mama and her baby boy.

My favorite line is "God hears Amen . . . wherever we are." I like that 'wherever we are' could be an actual place on the map; but even more so, perhaps, a place of emotion, a state of being, or measurement of faith. For me, as a mama, the most comforting thing (besides actually getting a few consecutive hours of sleep!) is knowing someone up there cares about this new bundle of perfection as much I do, or even more.  Just a thought for the day, ya'll ;)

Amanda (the beautiful mama pictured here) is a close friend of mine, and baby Jacob has already grown leaps and bounds from a month or so ago when I took these photos . . . they really do grow up fast!

Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirate's sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you
  

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out

Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, will find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars

God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen," wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man

Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

I loved how big sister Sarah sneaked into the room, admiring and imitating baby Jacob's little fingers here . . . just had to grab a shot of it ;)
