Letter to Owen

Owen's baby book has a section to write a letter to him. There is a lot that I want to say to him, but I don't think that I can get it all out in one letter. I want to tell him that I have wanted him all my life and that as soon as I met his dad, I knew that dream would come true...eventually. I want him to know that I cannot measure my love for him, but throughout his life, I will try my best to show him. I want him to know that life sometimes is not fair, but that I will take away the pain as much as I can. I want him to live his life to the fullest; to go with the ever-popular saying of LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE. 

I ran across this song the other day, and for the first time, I actually listened to the words. I have always liked this song, but this time, I heard the letter to Owen:

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no on there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made you mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love
