In The Blink Of An Eye

And, so, it begins. The youngest, and our only son, begins his journey toward his adult life. It is hard to believe how quickly these years have passed. 

The old saying "And then I blinked" has never had more meaning than at this moment. I am thankful and blessed to have had this wonderful boy in my life.

I pray that his future journeys are safe. 

And, dear Jacob, remember that along your path of life you may experience detours. Don't be frustrated and impatient, embrace each one. These unplanned adventures may be your greatest moments.

Blink Of An Eye

by Michael Mcdonald and George Perilli

Child, as I look in your eyes

You know my life seems like a minute

There I find living proof

Of all the wonder life holds in it

In the past I thought I had to learn

Any good that comes from this life we're living

Here and now, let us realize

That this life is a gift and it's already been given

Someday when you stand in the middle

Like it or not you're gonna look both ways

You're gonna find that time is a riddle

Where days turn into years

And years into the blink on an eye

Child, once I saw a man on the TV

Lead a nation up a mountain

He said, children, look over yonder

The flame of truth is burning brightly

Sometimes you look so far, there's only so much time

Only so many of us are gonna get there

Here and now is all we really have

But if we can make it count

We got no reason to worry

You're gonna walk that mile

You're gonna be that number

You're gonna make that journey

Just like the good book says

There's a time to be born, a time to cross over

You can be sure it's in the blink of an eye
