a perfect song might be 'Forever Young' by Bob Dylan, I don't have any kids just yet but I plan to have this at my childs christening, I assume most people know the words but heres a link just in case.

There's a lovely song that I have to tell you about, even though you've decided already. I can't remember who sings it, all I know is that it's a bit world/folky, called "On Children" and I always suspected it was maybe a poem or something arranged for this vocal group, who sang it unaccompanied. (I had it on a "Cooking Vinyl" sampler CD, so at least I've remembered the label!) I can remember this much:-
Your children are not your children - they are the sons and the daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you, but they are not for you, and though they are with you, they belong not to you. You can house their bodies but not their souls, for their souls dwell in a place called tomorrow, which you may not visit, not even in your dreams. You can strive to be like them, but you cannot make them just like you...
and a bit more I think. It's a beautiful song, maybe you could shoehorn it into the day somewhere!!
