Destiny

I remember the day you arrived, so fragile and small

Just two pounds of grace, I was scared I might hurt you at all

But you’d fall asleep, breathing soft on my chest

As we drifted away, I knew I was blessed

From a tiny preemie to the woman I see

You are the most beautiful gift God could give unto me

Destiny, you have the most beautiful soul

The light of Christ shines through you and makes my life whole

You are real, you are Godly, you are caring and true

You're everything I always wished I could be, too

Your smile melts my heart, you're my heart and my world

And Daddy will always be here for his little girl

From spinning you 'round at the Daddy-Daughter dance

To your winning clarinet solo, I watched in a trance

I remember the joy and the look on your face

When we bought you that car, your smile lit up the place

From hiking the trails to casting our lines in the stream

Sharing this beautiful life with you feels like a dream

Destiny, you have the most beautiful soul

The light of Christ shines through you and makes my life whole

You are real, you are Godly, you are caring and true

You're everything I always wished I could be, too

Your smile melts my heart, you're my heart and my world

And Daddy will always be here for his little girl

I think of that first family cruise on the sea

And how happy you were just being together, completely free

I know how much you loved your Goo Goo back then

His memory lives on in the wonderful person you've been

I love you so much, more than words can convey

I am so proud of you, baby girl, every single day

Destiny, you have the most beautiful soul

The light of Christ shines through you and makes my life whole

You are real, you are Godly, you are caring and true

You're everything I always wished I could be, too

Your smile melts my heart, you're my heart and my world

Yes, Daddy will always be right here for his little girl
