For the way that they behaved I\'ve learned how you deserved so much more
The way you tried to navigate those years when there was no way to be assured
That you were loved and that you matter and how you deserved a life thats good
These are just some of the things I would have told you then only if I could
I would also tell you how you are smart and how you can create a happy life
And I would remind you just how strong you are at those times when there is strife
I would also say that you are pretty especially when you have a smile
I would show you how to feel your joy knowing that you watch me all the while
To look for cues from mom I know now it\'s just a thing a baby does
The most important cue I want for you to see now is the way you are so loved
