From the time Abigail was born I knew she had something special but I had no idea what I felt was real until now. I chose to play 'Gifts of the Angels' cassette tape on the way to meet her after her birth in the hospital where she was being delivered on June 28th 2000. Coming straight from the heart of God into our small world she has helped us learn to love life no matter what is happening to us, to love each other more than we ever knew we could, and to celebrate our own lives simply because we are here. I thought I knew the meaning of love, I did not. I know now.
what about all the things that you said were yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice all the blood we've shed before
did you ever stop to noticethis crying Earth it's weeping shores?
aaaaaaaaaah ooooooooooh
aaaaaaaaaah ooooooooooh
What have we done to the world
look what we've done
what about all the peace
that you pledge your only son?
what about flowering fields, is there a time?
what about all the dreams that you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice
all the children dead from war?
did you ever stop to notice, this crying Earth its weeping shores?
aaaaaaaaaah ooooooooooh
aaaaaaaaaah ooooooooooh
I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars
now I don't know where we are,
although I know we've drifted far
aaaaaaaaaaah oooooooooooh
aaaaaaaaaaah oooooooooooh
aaaaaaaaaaaah ooooooooooooh
aaaaaaaaaaah oooooooooooh
