Our Son, His Day, Our Joy

We gathered softly at the door

With steady hearts and something more

Our son stood calm in morning light

Ready to step into his life

We watched him smile, we watched him breathe

A vow shaped gently underneath

The years came shining through his eyes

Like dawn across the quiet sky

And we walk in slow

And we walk in grace

With joy and love

On every face

One life beginning

One dream made true

A lifelong promise made by you

And side by side

We cross the day

To bring our love along the way

The piano carries every sigh

The cello holds the warmth inside

Medusa chords and tender hands

Lift up the moment as we stand

A quiet entrance, bright and small

Yet it contains the love of all

The blessing in the steps we take

The gentle world, his vows will wake

And we walk in slow

And we walk in grace

With joy and love

On every face

Our sun begins

And we believe

In all the joy

That love can weave

Side by side

We cross the day

With grateful hearts along the way
