Arieonna. Air-e-on-a

On February twenty-first, my whole world rearranged

I held you, Arieonna, and everything had changed

I can still see those weekends, the dust upon your cleats

Running down that soccer field, refusing a defeat

You always had a fire, a spark behind your eyes

Now I get to watch that little girl continue to rise

You're my sunshine in the darkest of places

Bringing light to all those little faces

Beautiful and smart, with a funny, loving heart

Arieonna, you're the strength that you can't see

And you'll always be a miracle to me

February twelfth, you made a brand new start

Walking down the aisle, giving someone else your heart

Now I watch you raise your four kids, pouring out your soul

Being such a loving mom has made your story whole

You give them every ounce of the love you have inside

Standing right beside you is my greatest source of pride

You're my sunshine in the darkest of places

Bringing light to all those little faces

Beautiful and smart, with a funny, loving heart

Arieonna, you're the strength that you can't see

And you'll always be a miracle to me

When the road gets heavy and you doubt the things you do

I hope you see the woman that I see inside of you

You hold it all together with a gentle, steady grace

No matter what the world brings, you meet it face to face

'Cause you're my sunshine in the darkest of places

Bringing light to all those little faces

Beautiful and smart, with a funny, loving heart

Arieonna, you're the strength that you can't see

Yeah, you'll always be a miracle to me
