Maeve
what is in your veins
to make you swim in lakes so cold
and now you’re ten years old

Maeve
you are our little spark
we watch you paint and read and climb
with the most curious mind

and you always try new things
5 years old off of the Tarzan swing

If ever you are feeling blue
maybe you need someone true so you feel safe you
can always hang with Maeve or
Maybe you just wanna smile
and talk with someone for a while
your spot is saved
there’s no one quite like Maeve

You
clever, wild spirit child
and we know yours was a rough start
with a tiny leaky heart but
we watched that heart grow
and as it opened ours did too
amazing Maeve we all love you

and you always try new things
and we’re grateful for the joy you bring

If ever you are feeling blue
maybe you need someone true so you feel safe you
can always hang with Maeve or
Maybe you just wanna smile
and talk with someone for a while
your spot is saved
there’s no one quite like Maeve

and you always try new things
and your beauty is the song you sing

Maeve
you are brave and bold
grandpa calls you plucky
you make us feel lucky but

you create your own
you’re as open as the sky
with the deepest bluest eyes

and you always try new things
and we love to watch you spread your wings

If ever you are feeling blue
maybe you need someone true so you feel safe you
can always hang with Maeve or
Maybe you just wanna smile
and talk with someone for a while
your spot is saved
there’s no one quite like Maeve

and you always try new things…
