Krystal

I remember the day you came into this world

My beautiful, faithful, and sweet little girl

So loyal and loving, a tender embrace

I saw heaven's mercy right there on your face

But I was just learning to walk through the dark

Trying to guide you and give you a spark

You didn't come with instructions, my dear

I made my mistakes through the worry and fear

I wasn't perfect, but I want you to know

I did the best I knew to help you grow

Whatever I lacked right from the start

The love that I gave you was straight from my heart

Look at the woman you've grown up to be

A nurse bringing healing for others to see

A mother, a wife, and a sister so true

An elder who cares in all that you do

You're helpful and heartfelt, you answer the call

With a spirit of grace that brings comfort to all

You didn't come with instructions, my dear

I made my mistakes through the worry and fear

I wasn't perfect, but I want you to know

I did the best I knew to help you grow

Whatever I lacked right from the start

The love that I gave you was straight from my heart

Krystal, just be you, let your spirit shine bright

You're someone that God can trust with His light

I may have made mistakes, it wasn't what I planned

But I tried every day just to hold your hand

Through all of my flaws and the tears that we shed

It was always your happiness keeping me fed

'Cause you didn't come with instructions, my dear

I made my mistakes through the worry and fear

I'm not perfect, but I want you to know

I did the best I knew to help you grow

Oh, whatever I lacked right from the start

The love that I gave you was straight from my heart

Yes, the love that I gave you was straight from my heart
