I see your faces in the morning light Little laughs that make the dark turn bright But time’s a thief and it don’t slow down So I’m writing this now while I’m still around If I can’t be there when life gets rough Know my love for you will always be enough Love ain’t perfect, but it’s strong and true Carry my heart in the things you do Grace, my oldest, just finding your way Quiet but fierce in the things you don’t say Strong in the fight, gentle in the rest A heart like yours is the kind that’s blessed You close the door and get lost in a game Or a movie we’ve watched ten times the same I hope I’m here when you rise from a fall Life will knock you down, but you can take it all Faith, my youngest, a fire that runs wild Sweet little soul and a wild little child Questions for days and a spark in your eyes You’ll chase the horizon till you touch the sky One breath you’re hugging, the next you’re sly You don’t hold back and you don’t ask why The world’s a fire and you’ll light your way But don’t forget your sister when skies turn grey I wish I had forever, but the truth is I don’t So take these words and make them your own You’re my story, my living song Play it loud when I’m gone If I can’t be there when life gets rough Know my love for you will always be enough Love ain’t perfect, but it’s strong and true Carry my heart in the things you do
