Courteney

I look back at the pages, the start of our story

Before all the milestones, the rush, and the glory

I still remember the tears and the laughter

The beautiful day you became my daughter

My world rearranged in the blink of an eye

And I promised to love you as the years hurried by

Oh, Courteney, look at the woman you are

I am so deeply proud, you have traveled so far

With a heart that is beautiful, steady, and true

I want you to know I'm in awe of you

You're everything I always hoped you would be

The absolute greatest gift given to me

You've got a humor that lights up the dark

You're brilliantly smart, leaving such a bright mark

And when life gets heavy, you weather the storm

You're beautifully strong in your own unique form

I watch how you carry yourself through it all

And I'll always be standing right here if you fall

Oh, Courteney, look at the woman you are

I am so deeply proud, you have traveled so far

With a heart that is beautiful, steady, and true

I want you to know I'm in awe of you

You're everything I always hoped you would be

The absolute greatest gift given to me

If you ever wonder or question your worth

Remember the joy that you bring to this earth

I see all your courage, I see all your grace

And nothing could ever take your place

Oh, Courteney, look at the woman you are

I am so deeply proud, you have traveled so far

Funny and smart, and beautifully strong

I've loved you so fiercely your whole life long

You're a beautiful woman, inside and out

And my love for you is something I'll never doubt
