Kids and growing up

Our 3 boys have officially started their first day of school.  Mixed emotions as I am sure you all have as well.  Exciting to see them grow and develop physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually (our oldest just started seminary).  But man in many ways I would love to keep them young.  The lyrics to Forever Young by Rod Stewart come to mind:

"May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam...
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud dignified and true
and do unto others as they'd have done to you
be courageous and be brave, and in my heart you'll always stay, forever young"
