Kristina

I still remember those simple days

Watching the worries just wash away

Kicking at the creek, just you and me

Barefoot in the water, wild and free

We’d drive to the hot springs to unwind

Leaving the rush of the world behind

I saw the fire in your spirit then

A quiet strength that would never end

Oh, Kristina, I'm so proud of you

For all of the hard times you made it through

You always put everybody else first in line

A single mom working to make the sun shine

You never gave up when the mountain was steep

You've got a caregiver's heart that runs deep

You always had a calling to heal and care

If somebody's hurting, you're already there

You studied so hard for your nursing degree

Working through the nights for your family

Now you wear those scrubs and you hold their hands

Guiding them through when they can barely stand

It takes a special soul to carry that weight

But you do it with a smile, working early and late

Oh, Kristina, I'm so proud of you

For all of the hard times you made it through

You always put everybody else first in line

A single mom working to make the sun shine

You never gave up when the mountain was steep

You've got a caregiver's heart that runs deep

And just look at Ashley, twenty-six years old

A beautiful reflection of the love you hold

You raised a kind, compassionate young lady

Through all the long days when the world was crazy

She learned how to love by watching her mom

In the middle of the storm, you were the calm

Oh, Kristina, I'm so proud of you

For all of the hard times you made it through

You always put everybody else first in line

A single mom working to make the sun shine

You never gave up when the mountain was steep

You've got a caregiver's heart that runs deep
