Care Package to Lilly

We are so excited to be able to send Lilly a care package and a little taste of home!  We are sending her a pink sundress with white sweater and white shoes, a small white headband, disposable camera, a baby friendly photo album with pictures of us, a small version of her blanket, and a recordable book (read by mom and dad).  The words to the book are so sweet and fit perfectly.  I have included the words below.

Under the Same Moon

A Story for Loved Ones Near and Far

By: Suzanne Berry

I see the moon and the moon sees me,

and the moon sees somebody I'd like to see.

Please let the light that shines on me 

shine on the ones I love.

I see the stars twinkle soft and bright,

winking a promise to me tonight:

they'll keep watch while you sleep tonight

and smile on you with love.

I see the clouds drifting softly by

as they carry these wishes across the sky.

I hope they bring sweet dreams tonight

to the precious ones I love.

I hear the wind as it moves through the trees,

crossing the distance between you and me.

It slips in your window, soft as can be,

and tucks you in with love.

I hear the crickets and the frog-song rise

as their sleepy serenade fills the moonlit skies.

It drifts all around as you close your eyes

and sings to you with love.

I hear an owl hoot "who, who, who?"

asking who I love and who loves me, too.

I smile as I answer, "It's you, you, you,"

you are the one I love.

Over the mountains and over the sea,

together with you I wish I could be.

Please let the light that shines on me

shine on the ones I love.
