THEY'RE GROWING UP TOO FAST!

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand.You felt so good in

it; no bigger than a minute.How it amazes me you're changin' with every blink.Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up all too soon.

So let them be little,'Cause they're only that way for a while.Give 'em hope, give them praise,Give them love every day.Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,Let 'em sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little.

I never felt so much in one little tender touch.I live for those kisses, your prayers an' your wishes.An' now you're teachin' me how only a child can see.Tonight, while we're on our knees, all I ask is:

Please, let them be little,'Cause they're only that way for a while.Give them hope, give them praise,Give them love every day.Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle,Let 'em sleep in the middle,Oh, but let them be little.The so innocent, precious soul:You turn around, an' it's time to let them go.

Let them be little

A 4 yr. old little boy in our ward died unexpectedly this week. It is such a wake up call. Life is too fragile to take our time with those we love for granted.
