Courtney

I have loved you since the day you were born

Through every clear sky and every storm

You were so tiny, but you were so strong

I always knew right where you belonged

I stood by your side and I watched you grow

And there is a truth that I need you to know

Courtney, you wear your heart right on your sleeve

You give so much love, it's hard to believe

I am so blessed to have watched how you've grown

To step in and love you like one of my own

I'm proud to be your aunt, but I'm your mother too

And there will never be a day I stop loving you

You always try to make everybody smile

For anyone else, you'd walk the extra mile

You want to please everyone that you meet

But you're already enough, you're already complete

When the time came, we brought you on home

We claimed you and raised you right as our own

Courtney, you wear your heart right on your sleeve

You give so much love, it's hard to believe

I am so blessed to have watched how you've grown

To step in and love you like one of my own

I'm proud to be your aunt, but I'm your mother too

And there will never be a day I stop loving you

So always be you, stand up straight and tall

Trust in yourself, and keep your circle small

Never back down when the hard winds blow

And don't let anyone ever bring you down low

Oh Courtney, you wear your heart right on your sleeve

You give so much love, it's hard to believe

I am so blessed to have watched how you've grown

To step in and love you like one of my own

I'm proud to be your aunt, but I'm your mother too

And there will never be a day I stop loving you
