I Get to Be the One

This song was posted on Facebook today by a friend who is adopting her 3rd baby from across the ocean.  I loved hearing this song and reading these lyrics.

There is SO much joy in being a Mom.  Despite a night of not a lot of sleep due to a little 5 year old who couldn't get close enough to me..I get to be the one.  I get to be his Mama.  I get to be the Mama to an 18 year old who is asking about taking a road trips to visit his Grandparents this weekend, I get to be the one to watch these boys grow into men. I get to be the one that sees their sad days, and I get to be the one to cheer them on at their events.  I get to be the ONE they call Mom.

Growing up all I ever wanted to be was a wife and a Mom!  Truly.  That is what I wanted from the first day I can remember.  Playing with my baby dolls...watching my parents, watching my Mom...I wanted that.  And I am SO grateful today, maybe more than other days, that I GET to be the one!

I took this last night...as I snuggled him to sleep.

JJ HELLER LYRICS
"I Get To Be The One"
Well hello,
Little baby.
Your eyes have never seen the sun
You should know
Little baby
That I am the lucky one
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.
Don't feel alone now,
Little baby.
Do you hear me singing you a song
I can't wait to show you
Little baby
How to crawl
How to walk
And how to run
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.
How does someone so small
Hold my heart so tightly
I don't even know you
I love you completely
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.
