The Cherub Turns 6

Dear Carter,

This song by Sandi Patti came out when I was a young girl.  I used to listen to it on my stereo and hope that I would have a little boy to sing it to one day.  Lucky me!  I got you. So, here's the song, in honor of your 6th birthday. 

I love you to pieces, little boy.  You are one of the best things that ever happened to me. I'm so glad you were born and I got picked to be your mom.  Happy birthday! 

Love,

Mommy

Before you had a name or opened up your eyes

Or anyone could recognize your face

You were being formed so delicate in size

Secluded in God's safe and hidden place

With your little tiny hands and little tiny feet

And little eyes that shimmer like a pearl

He breathed in you a song

and to make it all complete

He brought the masterpiece into the world

You are a masterpiece

A new creation He has formed

And you're as soft and fresh

as a snowy winter morn

And I'm so glad that God has given you to me

Little Lamb of God~

You are a masterpiece

And now you're growing up

Your life's a miracle

Everytime I look at you I stand in awe

Because I see in you

A reflection of me

And you'll always be my little lamb from God

And as your life goes on each day

How I pray that you will see

Just how much your life has meant to me

And I'm so proud of you

What else is there to say

Just be the masterpiece

He created you to be

You are a masterpiece
A new creation He has formed
And you're as soft and fresh
as a snowy winter morn
And I'm so glad that God has given you to me
Little Lamb of God~
You are a masterpiece
