FROM THE DAY YOU WERE BORN <\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
My heart stood still<\/em><\/font><\/span><\/div>\n
for just a moment or two
\nand skipped a few beats
\n<\/span>on the day you were born,<\/span>
\neach one of you<\/span>
\nas recalling those days<\/span>
\nfrom the distance of now,<\/span>
\nI can’t help but smile<\/span>
\nwhen I think of how far <\/span>
\nwe’ve come over the years<\/span>
\nto become who we are<\/span>
\namid laughter and tears.<\/span><\/em><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

Children learn from their parents,<\/span>
\nat least that’s what they say,<\/span>
\nbut we’ve learned from you<\/span>
\nfrom the beginning,<\/span>
\nfrom the day you were born.<\/span>
\nYou taught us how to look<\/span>
\nat the things that came up<\/span>
\nsituations big and small;<\/span>
\nhow to see them with eyes<\/span>
\nthat weren’t so quick to judge;<\/span>
\nyou taught us how to hear you,<\/span>
\nand even more important than that,<\/span>
\nto listen to the wise things <\/span>
\nyou said, each one of you.<\/span>
\nAnd you taught us to be fair,<\/span>
\nnot to be so quick to judge.<\/span><\/em><\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

And when it was time<\/span>
\nfor you to be on your own,<\/span>
\nyou taught us, each one of you,<\/span>
\nhow to let go <\/span>
\nand allow you to fly<\/span>
\nand to test those new wings.<\/span>
\nWhen the time was right<\/span>
\nwe all knew what to do<\/span>
\nas we stood back <\/span>
\nand watched you begin to soar.<\/span><\/em><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

So many things we’ve learned from you<\/span>
\nsince that miracle of birth<\/span>,
\nfrom the day you were born.<\/span><\/em><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
