My Lily, you came to us
On the third of September,
If I were to choose, it would be
The only day I'd remember
We had arrived at the hospital
They took your mother in a room
Where she would have to stay,
And to God I kept praying
For everything to be okay
Minutes turned to hours
She lay on the hospital bed
"The time has come, you're ready"
The doctor soon had said
You came into our world
So ethereal, so small...
Nothing could compare
To the wonder of it all
And nothing was more seamless
Than that bleating cry,
Eyes opened wide,
All the happiness
We simply couldn't hide
Sweet joy,
Barely an hour old
In front of our eyes
A little life unfolds
"Look at what we've done"
Estella had then told me
"She's precious, she's beautiful
She's everything we could envy"
The first days we would stay up
Watch you sleep at night,
Hoping and praying
To do everything right
Looking back, I know,
We have made some mistakes
Along the bending way,
But we strived to do our best
Every single day
We had been given an angel,
From the heavens above,
Our proudest attainment,
A little girl to love
