Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Following on from my 'Our Song' thread, jojom has an 'our'song', Hello (Lional richie) for her daughter Samantha, so ........ What song fits your child/ren? Off the top of my head, I'd have these for mine. Ellis - Your so vain ( takes after his mum) Cheryl - Your my best friend (don't know if this is a title or part of the lyric) She knows me well (stepdaughter) Tony - In the Army ( guess what, he's a soldier) My foster children (confidentiality I shan't name them as their 'collective - sibling group' names may identify them) Youngest girl (age 5) - My perogative Bobby Brown ( she's very confident ) My perogative youngest boy (age 10) - I am Special Song - he has special needs and he recently talked to me about God which he's learnt about at school "because his teacher says" (sing to the tune of Frere Jacques) I am special (point to yourself) I am special Don't you see? (make binoculars with your fingers) Don't you see? Someone very special (hands out to the side, palms up) Someone very special 'Cause God (point to heaven) made me (point to yourself) God made me! middle boy (age 12) - The Lazy song - he's a bit demotivated but always wants to please. HERE oldest boy (age 13.5) - Phil Collins - Gorilla Drummer - He plays this lots and it portrays his emotions where his is learning to control his anger, which builds just like the songs tempo. He is doing really well since living with us, and we are proud of how he has changed his attitude and controls his temper. He is however much better looking than the gorilla, in fact he's quite a handsome young lad who has many female admirers at school. ( so no doubt he will have some romantic 'our songs' soon ) Ben (age 6, nearly 7) my grandson - The Crazy frog song, and/or Crazy Horses OSMONDS - He loves the first one and he's a very 'active', excitable, funny sense of humoured young boy. Well, I enjoyed thinking about these and I also learnt that if you put 'song' and one other descriptive word ie: 'lazy' or 'special' into google search it comes up with lots of results of different songs. . So, if you are looking for a special song to represent someone or how you feel, why not try it. Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Well, For 3 of my children collectively it has to be Michael Bolton's 'Soul of my soul' which acknowledges the ups and downs of parent/child relationships with the chorus going... Soul of my soul heart of my heart greatest treasure of my life - or (some kind of miracle of life that's what you are) in subsequent chorus Soul of my soul child of my heart I love you more than you know Soul of my soul The words 'there'll be a time when you'll be on your own, in your heart your never far from home, every road you take, every living day....soul of my soul.....' are particularly poignant for me at the moment as my eldest has just flown the nest and moved into a flat with his girlfriend. Which I know he was ready for. I couldn't really not have this song for my much wanted baby girl - now a teenager going on 20 arggghhhh...! My Sarah - by Thin Lizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Never give Up - Yolanda adams "So, keep the dream alive don't let it die If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try Don't stop And never give up; don't ever give up on you... Sometimes life can place a stubborn block on your way But you've gotta keep the faith Bring what's deep inside your heart To the light" My son now 23 had cancer at 21, when doing his finals at uni he was also in Hospital having surgery. After initial "why me?" he has always been positive helping others even when having chemotherapy, finding a job after diagnosis, keeping going, changing his whole life and his plans for jobs , now eventually exactly 2 years later lots of job applications he has a job he really wants which allows him to travel and see the world. (He's a Marine geologist) He has kept going never given up, found a positive in every turn and at last beginning to enjoy life again.

Emmawill Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Megan My 9 year old daughter going on 16!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh "She's the devil in disguise" or it is she looks like an angel form Elvis Presley . She looks like butter wouldn't melt but the attitude is horrendeous!!!!!!!!! and my 2 and a half year old son Oliver knows nearly every word to Nickleback "I just want to be a big rock star" Yes and the not so polite words to and he loves that song called "Fasination" I don't know who its by but he sings it all of the time. My daughter is very into "Hannah Montana " and our lounge becomes a stage when she uses the remote contraols as microphones to sing along Oh to be young again!!!!!!!!!!!.

Inge How proud you must be Inge, what an inspiration and a true knock to all those who are negative about the younger generation.
