kimberly

Looking in the mirror, seeing where I've been

Every single chapter, every loss and win

Oh, Kimberly, you've walked a winding road

Learning how to carry such a heavy load

You kept your faith when the night was long

And found the breath to sing a quiet song

Count the milestones, see how far you've come

Standing in the warm light of the rising sun

You were patient with the sorrow, patient with the pain

Waiting for the harvest underneath the rain

Oh, Kimberly, I'm so proud of who you are

A patient heart that made it through the dark

There were days of doubting, shadows on the trail

Times the spirit faltered, times the strength would fail

But you gave yourself the grace to try again

Being your own comfort, being your own friend

Step by steady step, moving toward the light

Trusting that the morning always follows night

Count the milestones, see how far you've come

Standing in the warm light of the rising sun

You were patient with the sorrow, patient with the pain

Waiting for the harvest underneath the rain

Oh, Kimberly, I'm so proud of who you are

A patient heart that made it through the dark

I wrap my arms around the soul inside

No more need to hurry, no more need to hide

Every single marker on this winding way

Was building up the woman that I am today

I look at my reflection and I finally see

The beauty of the spirit living inside me

So count the milestones, see how far you've come

Standing in the warm light of the rising sun

You were patient with the sorrow, patient with the pain

Waiting for the harvest underneath the rain

Oh, Kimberly, I'm so proud of who you are

A patient heart that made it through the dark

Yes, Kimberly, I love just who you are
