Godspeed

Several things happened today. I'll share more detail later but everywhere I went today I was touched by William. I feel a combination of sweet peace and heavy, crushing grief. I truly did not know it was possible to hurt so much. The missing of him is unbearable. Yet, how can I help but smile when I think of him?

A slight disclaimer...I really detest country music.  I don't know anything about the group that sings this particular song except they were in some trouble over something they said or did a few years ago.  I have no idea what it was.  But I recognized their name.

But this song is good.  And it makes me smile.  Somehow it makes me think of his time here with me AND his joy in heaven all at the same time.  And of putting my arms around him again.

Lyrics:


  • 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, we'll 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
  •
