Oaklynn

We’ve walked through the zoo and we’ve rode on the rides

Making so many memories with you by my side

You’re only seven years old, but your heart is so big

You care for the animals and every living thing

You’re beautiful outside, but even more within

My sweet little Oaklynn, where do I begin?

‘Cause you are my heart and you are my world

My headstrong, determined, and sassy little girl

I thank God every morning when I see your face

You fill up my life with His saving grace

I want you to know, though we miss him down here

Your daddy’s in Heaven, and he’s always near

You try to protect us, you don't like to see tears

You never want to upset anyone, despite your young years

You carry so much with your loving little soul

But you don't even know the way you make me whole

Since your daddy passed on, it’s been a heavy, hard road

But you and the good Lord help me carry the load

‘Cause you are my heart and you are my world

My headstrong, determined, and sassy little girl

I thank God every morning when I see your face

You fill up my life with His saving grace

I want you to know, though we miss him down here

Your daddy’s in Heaven, and he’s always near

You don't understand the strength that you give

You and God are the reason I keep pushing to live

Every trip to the park, every time that you smile

Makes the hardest of days feel so worthwhile

He’s watching his amazing little girl from above

Sending you all of his light and his love

Yes, you are my heart and you are my world

My headstrong, determined, and sassy little girl

I thank God every morning when I see your face

You fill up my life with His saving grace

I want you to know, as you grow and you shine

Your daddy is watching, and I'm so glad you're mine
