MaKayla

I was in the room the moment you arrived

Looked into those brand new, beautiful eyes

When I cut the cord and held you close to me

I knew right then how deep our bond would be

From your very first breath, I made a silent vow

To always be your shelter, your loving Mamaw

Oh, MaKayla, you're the light of my life

Through fifteen years of trials, you always shine so bright

With a heart full of love for your family and the Lord

You rise above the hard times, stronger than before

Smart and so creative, beautiful and true

I am so incredibly proud of you

We've shared so many memories, just sitting side by side

When the heavy world gets to be too much to hide

You always turn to me when the days are getting hard

I'll wrap my arms around you and hold your caring heart

You've been through so much sorrow, but you never lose your grace

I see the love of Jesus shining on your face

Oh, MaKayla, you're the light of my life

Through fifteen years of trials, you always shine so bright

With a heart full of love for your family and the Lord

You rise above the hard times, stronger than before

Smart and so creative, beautiful and true

I am so incredibly proud of you

So always chase your dreams, reach up for the sky

There is nothing you can't do, just spread your wings and fly

No matter where you wander, no matter what you do

I will always be right here, always loving you

Oh, MaKayla, you're the light of my life

Through fifteen years of trials, you always shine so bright

With a heart full of love for your family and the Lord

You rise above the hard times, stronger than before

Smart and so creative, beautiful and true

My sweet granddaughter, I'm so proud of you
