To me, baby, you are God-given. For your birth, to God, thanks I'm frequently giving. And I pray for a good future. One with God, you and me in the picture.

His gratitude centres on someone he loves, then reaches back to her birth. Calling her God-given means he receives her presence as a gift rather than an achievement he can claim for himself. He directs his thanks to God because faith shapes how he understands her place in his life.

Prayer carries that gratitude forward into a hope still awaiting fulfilment. He does not ask only for a future together; he imagines God remaining within their shared life. Gratitude and hope therefore sit beside each other. Her birth calls for thanks now, while tomorrow is placed in prayer. He cherishes the love he knows without claiming that its future is guaranteed.
