Tay

Twenty-five years ago, I held you in the light

My beautiful girl, making everything right

You picked up on the world so fast, a brilliant mind

Leaving all the ordinary far behind

Sometimes you’d act so goofy, making me smile

I’ve loved every minute, every single mile

Oh, Tay, no matter what we might get into

There is nothing in this world that could pull me from you

You’re my firstborn child, please understand

I’m only looking out for you, reaching out my hand

I’ve always got your back, whenever you fall

I love you regardless, through it all

I think about the days we shared the same space

You’d cook me a warm meal, put a smile on my face

Always checking in, making sure I was okay

You brought so much comfort at the end of the day

Now I watch you with your babies, a mother so true

Giving me those precious moments with the grandkids and you

Oh, Tay, no matter what we might get into

There is nothing in this world that could pull me from you

You’re my firstborn child, please understand

I’m only looking out for you, reaching out my hand

I’ve always got your back, whenever you fall

I love you regardless, through it all

You’ve got a heart so big, you give so much away

A smart and giving woman, growing stronger every day

I know my words are heavy, but my motives are clear

I just want your best interest, whenever I am near

So, Tay, no matter what we might get into

There is nothing in this world that could pull me from you

You’re my firstborn child, please understand

I’m only looking out for you, reaching out my hand

I’ve always got your back, whenever you fall

I love you regardless, my Tay, through it all
