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
