Kisses In The Wind
I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.
I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.
Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.
Very soon, You'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.
May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

hehe...they had those in hawaii too. karina used to tell me about her apartment in college having them all over the walls!
ReplyDeleteso glad everything worked out with dexter...he looks wonderful. can't wait to meet him! hoping to come to visit next summer. that's really our only option anymore since carmen started school. christmas and other school breaks are very short out here, but the days are shorter (out by 2:30 or so) and so is the school year. they started this week and are done by the middle of may.
great to hear all is going good!
