Brick by Brick

I just heard this song, Brick by Brick by Bess Rogers. It made me think of all the little, almost unnoticeable, changes that our daily efforts produce for our special kids! Of course, this is the case with all children (and all adults, for that matter), but when other kiddos are reaching and surpassing milestones, we cherish and celebrate the "inchstones"! And, oh boy is it worth it!!! 

Three steps forward and two steps back we go, 

You try and push harder, they push right back, I know, 

That time moves fast and change moves painfully slow. 

It's hard to see the shift when you're so close. 

Brick by brick, we are building. 

You won't see for the longest time, 

We're building a new life. 

You plant a seed and wait for it to grow. 

They hate it now but they're too scared to know, 

That their children's children will sit underneath it's shade, 

And their children's children will bask in the love you made. 

Brick by brick, we are building. 

You won't see for the longest time, 

We're building a new life. 

It won't show for the longest time,
