Sonny

It started with messages across a screen

But I knew right away what the future would mean

A spark in the dark, a connection so clear

I knew that forever was starting right here

Before we had even stepped into the same room

I knew my whole heart belonged only to you

Sonny, you're patient, steady, and strong

You are the shelter where I belong

Admirable, giving, so loving and kind

A more beautiful soul I could never find

I love you much more than my words can express

And a lifetime with you isn't long enough yet

We created a family, a life of our own

And promised each other we're never alone

We found our way back to Jesus, walking hand in hand

Stepped into the water, a new place to stand

Baptized together, washed in His grace

I saw the pure love shining right from your face

Sonny, you're patient, steady, and strong

You are the shelter where I belong

Admirable, giving, so loving and kind

A more beautiful soul I could never find

I love you much more than my words can express

And a lifetime with you isn't long enough yet

Now we are walking through the hardest of days

Watching our little boy through the NICU haze

Through the thick and the thin, the fear and the prayers

I look to my side and I know you are there

Your quiet strength carries me through the night

You hold us together, you hold up the light

Sonny, you're patient, steady, and strong

You are the shelter where I belong

Admirable, giving, so loving and kind

A more beautiful soul I could never find

I love you much more than my words can express

No amount of time could be enough, I confess

Through the thick and the thin, when the waters get rough

A whole eternity, Sonny, will never be enough
