Annalise

I still remember the day you were born

Holding you close, keeping you safe and warm

My very last child, but the strongest I know

I cried at your graduation, just watching you grow

You've always been there, understanding my heart

Motivated and brilliant right from the start

A gift from God that I didn't expect

With an independent spirit I deeply respect

Annalise, you're my greatest accomplishment

Every single day is a blessing heaven-sent

I take one glance at you, so proud to be your momma

You bring the peace when life brings the drama

You'll never know how many times you saved my life

My beautiful girl, my reason to fight

I couldn't imagine this world without you

Forever my baby girl, so tender and true

We're laughing at movies, just watching the screen

The most hilarious moments that we've ever seen

Remember that loud boom outside in the dark?

Thought it was the rapture, it startled our hearts

Sneaking around, just scaring each other

There's a bond like no other 'tween you and your mother

You turn my bad days into something amazing

Just being yourself, the trail you are blazing

Annalise, you're my greatest accomplishment

Every single day is a blessing heaven-sent

I take one glance at you, so proud to be your momma

You bring the peace when life brings the drama

You'll never know how many times you saved my life

My beautiful girl, my reason to fight

I couldn't imagine this world without you

Forever my baby girl, so tender and true

One day I won't be here, but please don't you change

Don't let the trials of this life rearrange

The love and the joy that you hold deep inside

Keep Christ as your anchor, your faith as your guide

If I could survive, baby girl, so can you

Just keep that powerful smile shining through

You become who you imagine, you make it look easy

Inventive and warm, you continually amaze me

One smile from you could change a person's whole life

Cutting right through the shadows and strife

I'm so grateful the Lord blessed me with you

My brilliant Annalise, you're perfect and true

Annalise, you're my greatest accomplishment

Every single day is a blessing heaven-sent

I take one glance at you, so proud to be your momma

You bring the peace when life brings the drama

You'll never know how many times you saved my life

My beautiful girl, my reason to fight

I couldn't imagine this world without you

Forever my baby girl, I love you, I do
