Every Version of the Light
an original song · for her birthday
I've seen you in the quiet early morning,
before the house woke up and found its noise,
just you and cold brew and something forming —
a steady kind of rare the world destroys
in everyone but you.
I've watched you hold three lives inside your hands,
like someone who already knew the cost —
not giving up, just rearranging plans,
still finding what most people never lost:
the thread back home.
Happy birthday to the one who never dimmed,
who loved me loud when I was running thin,
who made a house feel like the kind of place
you can't believe you found — or that it's yours.
You don't need a big speech or a stage —
you've been the whole story all along.
The thing that pulled this family off the edge
just by being exactly who you are.
Happy birthday to the one who stayed the course,
who built a life with both her hands and heart,
who made me better just by knowing her —
you are every version of the light.
Sail on, sail on, sail on, Stacy...
every year you shine a little more.

You are the reason every ambitious thing I build is really just an attempt to give you more time, more peace, more beauty. Today is yours. You deserve every single second of it.
