Have a Song
When I was pregnant with my son, I was driving to work one day and heard the song “A Moment Like This” by Kelly Clarkson. I started to cry. I know the song is about love, and what greater love is there than between mother and child.
I had waited my whole life to have a baby and the lyrics, “Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this, Oh I can’t believe it’s happening to me..” That is exactly what I was feeling (and the hormones didn’t help)
So, that became our song. My precious unborn baby and I had a song.
I have played the song several times for my now 5 year old son, and each time I tell him how it made me cry when I was pregnant with him. How having him was the single most precious moment in my life and how the song will forever remind me of him and the love I had for him even before we even met.
We were in the car the other day and the song came on. I felt my eyes sting with the tears of earlier times and before I could say anything my son, in the back seat, said “Hey mom, isn’t this our song?”
“Yes baby, it is.”
