Let them be little..

The other day Hunter & I passed Kierra's marker where she was killed. We talked about it for a few minutes and he cried, so did I. Not long after one of her favorite songs came on the radio and he said "Mom.. I am going to close my eyes for a minute.... Mom! guess what? I can see Kierra dancing! I like that better than thinking about her dying. I think it would make her happier too!" And I told him yes, I think it would make her much happier. I wish he could have been saved this grief, it just doesn't seem fair for him to be so young and have to deal with this. Then I heard a song on a Lonestar CD I was given, and thought this was the neatest song..

Let Them Be Little by Lonestar

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand

Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute

How it amazes me, you're changing with every blink

Faster than a flower blooms they grow up all too soon

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while

Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day

Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle

Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch

I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes

Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see

Every night while we're on our knees all I ask is please

Let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while

Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day

Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle

Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around

It's time to let them go

So let them be little 'cause they're only that way for a while

Give them hope, give them praise, give them love every day

Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle

Oh just let them be little

Let them be little
