Life

It began with a whisper in my ear

"I think it's time"

Suddenly all we held dear was on the line

As your heart, measured in mountains, fell and climbed

“You're okay, you're okay, you're okay, we’re okay”

Amen

We were changed in an instant

We became so much more

Our definition of perfect was written when she was born

As she drew her first breath

I learned what love meant

And my heart reconciled

All the darkness and light

Inside my chest

As her hands held tight

And her eyes met mine

I saw the future unfold in silver and gold

And I’m already proud

Beautiful like your mother

You are grace, you are light

A better version of our best from your starting line

We will learn from each other

As you grow up, we will too

In our reflections of one another

We will start something new

We were changed in an instant

We became so much more

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born

There is so much to tell you

There is so much to see

We will show you the oceans

And everything in between

What a privilege to love you

To teach you all that we know

To watch you build a collection of dreams

That you can call your own

You are beautiful like your mother

You are grace, you are light

A better version of our best from your starting line

We were changed in an instant

We became so much more

Our definition of perfect was written when you were born
