| 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, you’re okay.
|
| Amen.
|
| We were changed in an instant.
|
| We became so much more.
|
| Our definition of perfect was written when she was born.
|
| She drew her first breath out of what love meant.
|
| In 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 sliver and gold.
|
| And I’m already proud.
|
| Beautiful like your mother,
|
| You are grace, you are light.
|
| The better version of our past.
|
| From the start of life.
|
| We will learn from each other.
|
| As you grow up, we will too.
|
| And 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. |
| Oh.
|
| A better version of our past.
|
| From the start of life.
|
| We were changed in an instant,
|
| When we became so much more. |
| Oh.
|
| Our definition of perfect was written when you were born. |
