In 1999 Radney Foster wrote a simply awesome song called Godspeed.  I've always been a big Radney fan and I loved when the Dixie Chicks remade this song on their Home album.  The only problem is that it is written with little boys in mind.  None of those around here...

Here's my version for my little girls. 

American Girls and things “I Spy “
Butterfly’s kiss and fairies fly
The Grinch steals Christmas every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little girl
Sweet dreams, little girl
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The ballet dancers are all tuckered out
Snow White is in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon, we'll find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little girl
Sweet dreams, little girl
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and how I wonder what you are
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God heard "Amen," wherever you are
And I love you

Godspeed, little girl
Sweet dreams, little girl
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
Godspeed
Sweet dreams.

Didn't know that you were such a poet! My perception of you changes all the time. You travel away from your family for a week, then you get back and get all sentimental. It will fade some, and then you'll be off on another trip to "recharge" you sentiment a little bit. Happens to me every time I travel.
