Let Them Be Little - Tender Moments with our 3 Little Boys

I got inspired to make this video after my wife called me up last weekend to tell me that our youngest of 3 boys, Kent, finally started to walk. As I was watching the video she sent out, I felt a deep void, realizing that I should have been there to witness it as it happens, instead of just watching from a distance 4 flight hours away. So in the next two days, I browsed through old pictures and videos and decided to put them together; a celebration of all the little tender moments of my three sons. This is a reminder for me and my wife, and for others out there who have children in their lives, may they be your own, your siblings, or your friends, to enjoy the little ones while they are at their tender age and not rush them to grow up too fast.

Here are the lyrics for the song I used (Let Them Be Little performed by Lonestar, written by Billy Dean and Richie McDonald):

I can remember when you fit in the palm of my hand
Felt so good in it, no bigger than a minute
How it amazes me, you're changing 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 them hope, give them praise, give them love every day
Let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

I've never felt so much in one little tender touch
I live for those kisses, prayers and your wishes
Now that you're teaching me things only a child can see
Every night 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 them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

So innocent, a precious soul, you turn around
It's time to let them go

So 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 them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle
Oh just let them be little

Let them be little
