OT my Saturday night
[email protected]
Hi all needed to share my night..
Last night my mom was remarried. It was a great event and all went
wonderfully. The song she played for me was "Child of Mine by Carol King" (most of the
words are below)
Over the years she and I have not seen eye to eye on adding children to our
family or HS/Unschooling. Though she has seen some of the notable changes in
our son and has told us so.
No matter what she has said to me over the years I have always stuck by her
side and forgiven her for her anger which stems from her horrible childhood.
She defended me as a child and left my dad for beating me..
It's not often she voices support or has positive comments about my choices.
This song was pretty powerful to me last night. When we began to dance I was
talking cuz I was nervous and she tapped my shoulder and said
LISTEN................. Here it is...........................
CHILD OF MINE by CAROL KING
Although you see the world different than me... sometimes I can touch upon
the wonders that you see and all the new colors and pictures you
design..........................
Oh yes sweet darlin, so glad you are a child of mine, child of mine.....child
of mine, oh yes sweet darlin so glad you are a child of mine......
You dont need directions you know which way to go..., i dont want to hold
you back .... i just want to watch you grow
your the one who taught me you dont have to look behind.
oh yes sweet darlin, so glad you are a child of mine ............child of
mine, oh yes sweet darlin so glad..
No bodies gona kill your dreams or tell you how to live your life......
they'll always going to be people to make it hard for a while but you'll change
their heads when they see you smile
The times you where born in may not have been the best.. but you can make the
times to come better than the rest..... I know you will be honest though you
cant always be kind...
Oh yes sweet darlin glad you are a child of mine, child of mine oh yes sweet
darlin so glad you are a child of mine.

Laura,
What a beautiful thing for you. The song brought tears to my eyes.
My mom and me do not get along so I can understand some of your
sentiment. I hope things continue to grow between the two of you.
Best Wishes,
Olga :)

Thank you.
I DL the song last night and cry every time I listen to it. When I herd it
come on at the wedding I kinda went ugh cuz I knew it was a song that would
bring tears to my eyes then my Mom came over to dance I began to ball instantly.
It is a song that always hit a soft spot in my heart. (that and Cats in the
cradle is my song that reminds me of my dad) Laura

What a beautiful gesture, especially if she hasn't given you much clear support. It must have been really moving.
This is a great song. I love Carol King and have thought of this song many times in ref. to my kids.
Did anyone ever see the Gap commercial last holiday season with Carol King and her daughter? I know, it's an ad. But it made me weep every time. Carol King plays the piano and her daughter (or was it Carol) sings "So Far Away" and then the daughter says, "My first love... my mother."

What a sweet sweet moment, Laura!!!
I also sing that song to my kids, have since they were babies, and they
request it sometimes, even as teens who sing WAY better than I do -
when they're really sad or sick and I'm comforting them!
You just gave me the heads up that I should remember to include that
song in the video that we'll make for each child's 20th birthday (my
sister made one for each of her kids' 21st birthdays and I plan to do
the same for my kids 20th - only a year away for our oldest, so I'd
better get started).

Last nite while working on that horrible project I mentioned, my mom was
humming and I could've sworn it was "Que cera, cera..." I asked her why she was
humming "Que cera, cera..." and she said she wasn't, she was just humming.
Perhaps I heard my own manifestation of that song since my mind was still partially
stuck here. She said she hadn't heard that song in years, but she remembered
how much I used to play it on my "Donny & Marie" recordplayer. I laughed that
she remembered that, but she asked why that song was on my mind. Not wanting
to even begin to get into philisophical discussions with my mom, who says I
wear her out sometimes when we do, I just told her I thought I heard it.
I told her maybe I should google the lyrics, since of course we started to
sing it and kept getting stuck. She asked if it was easy to google lyrics and I
said, "Yeah, last week I got the lyrics for 'Red River Valley'." In perfect
synch, we said, "remember rocking to sleep while you/I sang that song. We
started to get teary eyed all over song lyrics and we decided we should stop singing
and get back to working or the project was gonna be turned in with teardrops
all over it. It's funny to me that my mom always knows when I need a dose of
"mommy".
Thanx again,
Rhonda

Rhonda - here are the lyrics:
Song: If I Could ~~ 1997 ~~ 3:59

Composers: R. Miller~K. Hirsch~M. SharronAlso recorded by: Barbra Streisand
Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...
Oh...ho...
Yeah, yeah
If I could
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ll watch you grow, so I can let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears, babe
But I would If I could
If I could
In a time and place where you don’t wanna be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won’t have to be your way
If I knew
I’d try to change the world I brought you to
Now there isn’t much more that I can do
But I would If I could
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
