There’s a song we have sang to the kids since they were first born. The song grew from a poem written by a young Russian child and has been referenced to by many, from President Reagan to Raffi. Here’s the chorus of it…
May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be mommy,
May there always be me.
May there always be rivers,
May there always be green trees,
May there always be daddy,
May there always be me.
-Lev Oshanin
The chorus lines are interchangeable and over the years, we’ve included the words, ‘may there always be ...brothers, ….sisters, …grandmas ….rainbows, etc.’ as we sang verse after verse . Many a night, they fell asleep in our arms, as we held them tight and they listened to our repetitious thankfulness through the notes of this beautiful song.

The kids were playing out front and I was inside making them lunch. I opened the back door to let the dog out and looked out off of our porch and saw this. I stopped. Grabbed my camera and took this picture.
Instantly, ‘our’ song came to mind and in my head, …
May there always be rain boots…

Time goes so fast. I’m so glad I’ve chosen to take a moment to take a moment each day.
