In that sterile room, fear caught my breath,
Anxious whispers, could we face the test?
With the clock ticking, time fell away,
In your eyes, I found the strength to be okay.
Oh, little Amaryllis, you’re our shining light,
In the scariest moments, you made everything right.
With every heartbeat, love began to grow,
You’re the sweetest part of us, more than we could know.
Tears on my cheeks as the doctors rushed in,
A silent scare, let our journey begin.
I heard your heart slow, my world spinning fast,
Panic consumes me,
The blue curtain separates us.
But when you held her, I found peace at last.
Oh, little Amaryllis, you’re our shining light,
In the hardest moments, you made everything right.
With every heartbeat, love began to grow,
You’re the sweetest part of us, more than we could know.
I remember the way you cradled her tight,
The way you whispered, “you girls are my life.”
In that moment, my heart just took flight,
We built a new world, in that moment I knew I wanted to be your wife.
Now I see you both, a beautiful sight,
A family blossoming, love shining bright.
Our Future ahead, with dreams we will chase,
In every small smile, I see your grace.
Oh, little Amaryllis, you’re our shining light,
In the darkest moments, you made everything bright.
With every heartbeat, love began to grow,
You’re the sweetest part of us, more than we could know.
So here’s to the laughter, the joy, and the tears,
To our little girl, who’ll erase all our fears.
In our hearts forever, a melody plays,
Little Amaryllis, you are the light to our days.
