I have found a lot of comfort in music the last few weeks. Some songs make me smile and some songs I can actually feel the love of Christ as if the Lord has wrapped his arms around me to remind me of his love. Some songs, admittedly, make me angry. And many songs make me sad. I’d listened to the song Godspeed by Dixie Chicks years ago but when I heard it again just recently it took on a whole new meaning. Emotionally, it hit me. It hit me hard. I cried… the pour tears kind of cry.
This song is my prayer to you Nate and I promise you that every night I WILL fly my love to you on angels wings. I know you know how much we LOVE you sweet pea.
“Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)” By Dixie Chicks
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, will 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

The rocket racers all tuckered out, Superman's in pajamas on the couch…. reminds me so much of you. You played hard, you worked hard, you loved hard, and when you fell asleep at night you slept hard too. You were my rocket racer.
God Bless Mommy and Matchbox cars, God Bless Dad and thanks for the Stars. Nate was a boy that loved his trucks and cars. He has at least 250 matchbox cars and given the choice he’d use allowance money each week to buy one more. Nate had already decided he was asking Santa this year for a gas powered 4 wheeler.
Oh, my sweet Nate, I love you buddy.
We will be GREAT for you NATE.
