Wherever You Are

Wherever You Are My Love Will Find You by Nancy Tillman is my favorite children's book. My Aunt gave it to Ford for Christmas and I just love it. The words and art work are so sweet, and I get tears in my eyes every time I read it. I pray that Ford will know the kind of love that these words encompass, and as parents we strive everyday to give this kind of love to our sweet little boy.

I wanted you more than you ever will know,

 so I sent love to follow wherever you go.

 It's high as you wish it. It's quick as and 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 'til you're dizzy...

paint 'til you're blue...

There's no place, not one, that my love can't find you.

 And if someday you're lonely,

 or someday you're sad,

 or you strikeout 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.

You are loved.

Yes, sweet Ford you are loved, you are loved, you are loved!!!!
