A song : I hope you dance, December 23, 2005

Yesterday we went to check our boys' hearts. Because of my diabetes and a few problems that I had in the first trimester of my pregnancy, my doctor had sugested  it to be done.

The  ultrasound took about 2 hours, because the boys were moving around all the time, not giving the poor technician a chance to check the hearts. She went to ask the doctor to come and help, and then, poor him.... He had to spend very long time to check the hearts. They were both laughing how our boys are active. But finally they told us that there is nothing wrong about our boys' little hearts that they can see

Today, we  watched River-dance for hours and River was excited as he always is when we watch River-dance. Then my husband suggested to play some music for the boys that he had thought they may like. He was right. They both loved many of the songs, but River LOVED one of the songs the most : I hope you dance.

It is a beautiful song that has reminded my husband of children, and now, it makes him think about our children. River got so excited to listen to the song that nothing could stop him dancing. It almost made me cry  to see how my little boy loves music.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
