Selena

The day you were born was the happiest day

A blessing from God in every single way

You’re patient and loving, so brilliant and smart

You work all the time with a beautiful heart

Selena, I look at the woman you are

And I thank the Lord for my brightest star

I am so sorry for the dark road I chose

The pain of addiction, the distance that grows

But you never gave up, you loved me through the night

Eleven months sober, I'm back in the light

You're the absolute best thing that happened to me

Thank God for your unconditional love, setting me free

We were separated, I was lost for a while

But my birthday came and I saw your sweet smile

At that Mexican restaurant, sharing a meal

Having my daughter back, it felt so unreal

After all I put you through, you stayed so true

You never stopped loving me, I'm so grateful for you

I am so sorry for the dark road I chose

The pain of addiction, the distance that grows

But you never gave up, you loved me through the night

Eleven months sober, I'm back in the light

You're the absolute best thing that happened to me

Thank God for your unconditional love, setting me free

Just three months ago, a new chapter began

You became a mother, holding his tiny hand

Thank you for my grandson, a heavenly gift

You've given my spirit the ultimate lift

I am so proud of the woman you've grown to be

I pray for so many more years for you, him, and me

I am so sorry for the dark road I chose

The pain of addiction, the distance that grows

But you never gave up, you loved me through the night

Eleven months sober, I'm back in the light

You're the absolute best thing that happened to me

Thank God for your unconditional love, setting me free
