Shining Through the Shadows

Mama's heart beats for her little girl,

A fierce light shining through at the world,

Though wounds are deep, love will always heal,

You're my everything, my perfect, my real.

You came so tiny, fragile, a whisper in my arms,

Faced storms unseen, carried pain without alarms,

Daddy's shadows cast a doubt, a sorrow deep,

But I see your spirit rise, in your eyes I keep.

I was blind to the demons he hid,

But your strength is a gift, a fire unhid.

Ever present, right by your side,

In your corner, your safe guide.

You are fierce, you are bright,

A star shining in the night.

Resilient, smart, so beautiful,

My heart swells, oh my girl, you’re wonderful.

I will be there when you fall,

I will catch you, I will call,

All your games, your dreams, your fears,

I'll be with you through the years.

My little girl, let your hope unroll,

Your light outshines the shadows, makes me whole,

Despite the tears, despite the scars,

You're my forever warrior, my shining star.
