Niya

Lord knows I marvel at the spirit you hold

Smart and courageous, so gifted and bold

Beautiful inside, and beautiful out

You are talented, strong, there is never a doubt

I look at the woman you're growing to be

And I thank the heavens you were given to me

Even when we struggle, even when we disagree

When we don't see eye to eye, you're still everything to me

I am right here in your corner, I am rooting you on

My love for you, Niya, is steady and strong

Through the trials and the triumphs, until the race is won

I am right here in your corner, rooting you on

When the shadows get heavy, I hear your sweet laugh

Your jokes bring such light to this winding path

You're caring and thoughtful in all that you do

Your encouraging words always carry me through

You lift up my soul when the waters get deep

That joy in your heart is a treasure I keep

Even when we struggle, even when we disagree

When we don't see eye to eye, you're still everything to me

I am right here in your corner, I am rooting you on

My love for you, Niya, is steady and strong

Through the trials and the triumphs, until the race is won

I am right here in your corner, rooting you on

We might have our moments of friction and pride

But I'll never wander away from your side

You're my daughter, my blessing, a gift from above

Bound by a deep, unconditional love

No distance or difference could tear us apart

You will always have shelter right here in my heart

Even when we struggle, even when we disagree

When we don't see eye to eye, you're still everything to me

I am right here in your corner, I am rooting you on

My love for you, Niya, is steady and strong

Through the trials and the triumphs, until the race is won

I am forever in your corner, rooting you on
