Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You

A few months ago Cassidy received a book from her Grandma Boone. This was the grandma who raised Cassidy for her first 9 months of life (I'm very thankful for her!) She obviously misses Cassidy very much, after going from being her mother basically to seeing her once or twice a month. She found this book and the words were exactly what she wanted to say to Cassidy, to remind her that even though she's not around as much, her love is always there.

I read this book to Cassidy often and the words never fail to make me tear up, but as I was reading this to her just this morning, the words struck me in a different way. I thought of our baby, who is not here yet, and the many friends I know right now that are either also waiting to bring their baby home, or are waiting to hear that they are pregnant. These women have been heavy on my mind and in my prayers lately and as I was reading this book to Cassidy I thought it was so fitting for us who right now are waiting. I want to share this book with you on my blog and dedicate it to all of us who are waiting for our babies. You know who you are.

"Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You"

By Nancy Tillman

I wanted you more then you ever will know,

so I sent love to follow wherever you go.

It's high as you wish it, it's quick as an elf.

You'll never outgrow it...it stretches itself!

So climb any mountain...climb up to the sky!

My love will find you. My love can fly!

Make a big splash! Go out on a limb!

My love will find you. My love can swim!

It never gets lost, never fades, never ends...

If you're working...or playing...or sitting with friends.

You can dance 'till you're dizzy...paint 'till you're blue...

There's not place, not one, that my love can't find you.

And if someday you're lonely, or someday you're sad

Or you strike out at baseball, or think you've been bad...

Just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair.

That's me, my sweet baby, my love is right there.

In the green of the grass, in the smell of the sea...

In the clouds floating by at the top of a tree...

In the sound crickets make at the end of the day...

"You are loved. You are loved. You are loved," they all say.

My love is so high and so wide and so deep, 

it's always right there even when you're asleep.

So hold your head high and don't be afraid

to march to the front of your own parade.

If you're still my small babe or you're all the way grown,

my promise to you is you're never alone.

You are my angel, my darling, my star...

And my love will find you, wherever you are.
