My Beautiful Daughter

October fifth, nineteen ninety-nine
Eighteen hours and you finally arrived
Tiny little girl with your whole life ahead
While “Comfy Couch” played and I held you instead
First day of school, tears in my eyes
Watching you grow up right before my life
Then your little brother came along one day
You were ten years old and helped show the way
(Chorus)
Oh Megan, my beautiful daughter
You’ve been strong through every high and harder
From scraped-up dreams to shining bright
You kept on fighting for your life
And I hope you always know
No matter where this crazy world goes
I am so incredibly proud of you
(Verse 2)
Gymnastics all through eighth grade nights
Volleyball carried you through those high school lights
You gave me scares that nearly stopped my heart
But somehow we always made it through the dark
Boys outside your bedroom window late
Teenage years and all the wild mistakes
Burning panties by the bedroom light
Laughing now at those chaotic nights
You crashed your car, your heart got bruised
Someone wrote cruel words trying to hurt you
But you stood back up, stronger than before
That’s the kind of woman I adore
(Bridge)
Now you wear those RN letters proud
And soon you’ll be a beautiful bride standing out in the crowd
June twentieth, twenty twenty-six will shine so bright
Watching you walk down that aisle will be one of my life’s best nights
You found a love that makes your whole heart glow
And seeing your happiness means more than you know
No matter where this new life leads you to
I’ll forever be proud of you
(Final Chorus)
Oh Megan, my beautiful daughter
There will never be another
You turned every storm into light
And made this mama proud every night
June twentieth, twenty twenty-six
I’ll watch you marry the love you picked
And through every chapter your whole life brings
Your mama will love you more than anything
So keep becoming all you are
Keep chasing every dream that’s in your heart
No matter where this old world leads you to
I’ll forever be proud of you.
