Today (4th of July) is my father's birthday. Well, we never do anything special in our family to celebrate birthdays - just dinner, nothing else. Usually I always have the opportunity to celebrate it with him since it's on the holiday, but I have to be contended with saying happy birthday over the phone this year since I can't go back.
When I play through my song list I found one interesting song though. Somehow it reminds me of him so much. The song was titled "Find your wings" by Mark Harris. It is about the prayer of a father when he watched his son/daughter grew up and 'fly'. I can't help to smile when I hear this song, and I remembered how he has guarded me to become who I am right now, especially after my mother passed away in '96.. He helped me find my wing; he helped me and teaches me how to stand on my own. The two of us may have our own differences sometimes - I can be quite rebellious, he can be very strict and demanding. But those were nothing compared to the love that he gave me over 22 years of my life.
So... I want to share this song with all of you, and dedicate this song to my father. It's a shame he don't have a FB account though.. haha.. Happy 55th B'day pah.. ^^~

Find Your Wings
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray for all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know you're walking in the truth
And if I never told you, I want you to know as I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings, so let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong; guide you on your way
May there be many moments that make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories
I pray that God will fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings, so let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
It's not living if you don't reach for the sky
I'll have tears as you take off, but I'll cheer as you fly
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings, so let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
It's only for a moment you are mine to hold
The plans that heaven has for you will all too soon unfold
So many different prayers I'll pray for all that you might do
But most of all I'll want to know you're walking in the truth
And if I never told you, I want you to know as I watch you grow
I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams
And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things
I'm here for you whatever this life brings, so let my love give you roots
And help you find your wings
May passion be the wind that leads you through your days
And may conviction keep you strong; guide you on your way
May there be many moments that make your life so sweet
Oh, but more than memories

And that faith gives you the courage to dare to do great things

And help you find your wings

And help you find your wings
