“Blue-Eyed Answer”
A song for my son
[Verse 1]
We sat on the porch for the hundredth time
Talkin’ ‘bout life and this heart of mine
Was it full or was there still room to grow?
Your daddy had dreams of a little boy’s laugh
I held fear like a weight on my back
Could I do it again? I just didn’t know
[Verse 2]
So we prayed in the quiet and prayed in the mess
Asked God for peace, for a clear, simple “yes”
I was scared to fall deeper when I already felt weak
But the signs kept coming, soft and sure
[Chorus]
And then there were two pink lines
Just like that, God’s plan became mine
Your daddy grinned, said, “Maybe he’s on his way”
And I just hoped for health and blue eyes
Still unsure of how my heart would rise
But the moment I saw you, I knew I’d never be the same
You were my blue-eyed answer
To every whispered prayer I prayed
[Verse 3]
Your sisters had my heart, no doubt
I didn’t know what loving a boy was about
Felt like a stranger I couldn’t yet see
But then you cried, and I held you near
And just like that, it all was clear
You were always meant to be part of me
[Chorus]
‘Cause there were two pink lines
And somehow peace and fear entwined
But God knew the joy that was headed our way
Now your daddy’s proud, and I’m in awe
At your scrunchy smile and how you saw
Straight into my soul with those sky-colored eyes each day
You were my blue-eyed answer
To every whispered prayer I prayed
[Bridge]
Now I rock you slow in the quiet night
And wonder how I ever questioned this life
You’re my yes, my gift, my sweetest grace
Can’t imagine a world without your face
[Final Chorus]
It started with two pink lines
A leap of faith, a love redefined
You filled every space I didn’t know was bare
Now you’re here, and I’m undone
By the joy of my baby boy, my son
With your mama’s smile and eyes like a prayer
You’re my blue-eyed answer
To every whispered prayer I prayed
[Outro]
Now I see what God was doing all along
You were the piece that made our family strong
I was scared, but He knew what I’d find—
A love so deep, it still takes me by surprise
My blue-eyed answer…
My son.
