With all of the 'graduation and prom' talk nowadays.....I can't help but think that before I even realize it Madison will be walking across that stage, picking out a prom dress and applying to colleges. It's really amazing how time flies. I think to myself am I doing all that I can do to lead her in the right direction? Am I setting a solid example for her to follow for the rest of her life? What am I doing to ensure her success, whatever success might be in her eyes when the time comes? Am I teaching her to love and be loved? Am I showing her how to care for others? How to be sensitive to the needs of others? How am I demonstrating to her what's important in life? Madison, I dedicate these lyrics to you, it sums up everything that I feel right now and want to say to you:
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you
Will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray
For all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know
You're walking in the truth
And If I never told you
I want you to know
As I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage
To dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings
So let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind
That leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong
Guide you on your way
May there be many moments
That make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off
But I'll cheer as you fly.

I love you Madison and may your steps be ordered by the Lord!
