Baby Boy, Strong as a River

Back when love felt like a battlefield

We were two hearts still learning to heal

But then you came, a light in the storm

A tiny heartbeat, a new story being formed

You were hope in the midst of pain

A tender gift with your daddy’s name

Heaven knew what we didn’t yet see

You were the bridge between him and me

Oh baby boy, you made us whole

You softened the edges, healed our souls

With tiny hands and a lions heart

You’ve been strong as a river from the very start

you love so deep, you stand so tall

You’re the quiet strength that holds us all

You’d light up the field in your baseball cleats

Dust on your face, fire in your feet

I’d cheer so loud from those bleacher seats

Those memories are oh so sweet

With every game, every scraped-up knee

You were growing into the man that we now see

Still that same sweet heart underneath

Fierce with your love, and a calm river peace

baby boy, you made us whole

You softened the edges, healed our souls

With tiny little hands and a lions heart

You’ve been strong as a river from the very start

you love so deep, you stand so tall

You’re the quiet strength that holds us all

You were the promise that love could grow

Where cracks once formed, now flowers show

You’re the melody

in our family’s song

Our reason we keep pressing on

Oh baby boy, you made us whole

You softened the edges, healed our souls

With your steady eyes and your gentle fight

You shine like the stars in the darkest of nights

you love so deep, you stand so tall

You’re the quiet strength that holds us all

My baby boy… forever my baby boy

Strong as a river, wild and free

You’re everything we hoped love could be…..
