The Steadiest of Minds

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strength That holds a family whole, A gentle steady hand, A warm and open soul. Some people walk this earth And leave the world more kind— The best of who we are, The steadiest of minds. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light, you're the glue, The love that pulls us through, Grace in every word you say, Joy in the ordinary day. Happy birthday, Abby, dear— So grateful you are here. [Verse 2] A precious daughter, cherished, true, A devoted, loving wife, To Alijah and Maliyah You gave your gentle life. The neighborhood mom the children run to, The teacher no one forgets, The friend who shows up in the storm With no strings, no regrets. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light, you're the glue, The love that pulls us through, Grace in every word you say, Joy in the ordinary day. Happy birthday, Abby, dear— So grateful you are here. [Bridge] Forty years of wisdom, Forty years of grace— We all become a little better Just standing in your space. [Verse 3] A sister to your brothers, Always ready with your care, The best of listeners, The kindest kind of prayer. So on this day we celebrate The gift that you have been— Abby, love and light itself, Our family, our friend. [Chorus] Oh, you're the light, you're the glue, The love that pulls us through, Grace in every word you say, Joy in the ordinary day. Happy birthday, Abby, dear— So grateful you are here. [Outro] Here's to you, our steady flame, The heart that holds our name. Happy birthday, Abby, dear— Forever grateful you are here.
