Claylynn

They said you might not see the sunrise

They said you wouldn't make it through

They gave you ten short days to be here

But, baby girl, God had a plan for you

You came into this world so fragile

A tiny heart, a mighty fight

Surrounded by a whole lot of love

You pushed the shadows into light

Oh, Claylynn, just look at you now

Two years of courage, standing so proud

Through every storm and every tear

You’ve shown us strength beyond your years

They counted your days, but look what God’s done

You're living proof, our beautiful one

A miracle we get to hold onto

Sweet girl, we are so proud of you

OSF in Peoria knows your name

Through trips to Chicago and days of pain

With your little trach and your brave little soul

You meet every challenge and make our hearts whole

TT was brave when she gave you life

A beautiful choice through the sacrifice

Now Amiee and Corey are Mommy and Dad

Right by your side through the good and the bad

Oh, Claylynn, just look at you now

Two years of courage, standing so proud

Through every storm and every tear

You’ve shown us strength beyond your years

They counted your days, but look what God’s done

You're living proof, our beautiful one

A miracle we get to hold onto

Sweet girl, we are so proud of you

If you could see yourself through Grandma’s eyes

You’d see a warrior, my sweet surprise

I wish I could take every hurt away

And trade those hard nights for an easy day

October twenty-ninth is finally here

We're celebrating your second year

From ten little days to a lifetime of smiles

I'll walk beside you for all of the miles

Oh, Claylynn, just look at you now

Two years of fighting, we're singing out loud

From TT's brave love to your parents' embrace

You've brought so much hope to this beautiful space

They counted your days, but look what God’s done

You're living proof, our beautiful one

Ten days to a lifetime, a story still growing

There is no limit to the love that keeps flowing
