A song for TENNLEY...

Jenn Petersen, singer, song writer and friend blessed us with a "gift" while we were in Florida this past January. Scott and I were expecting a cute onesie or fun little baby gift! As she sat us down in a the corner of the big conference hall and pulled out her guitar, she began to serenade us with a song written about our daughter...
Speechless.
Honored.
Touched.
Story has it, that while she was in Cambodia on a mission trip to stop sex trafficking, she started writing about Tennley after reading Scott's Post  (<----click to read).

We wanted to share the lyrics of this special song about our girl.

TENNLEY

for Scott and Ashley...

2010 smalltown citygirl music

Ribbons, bow and pretty things

Are making my heart sing this song to you

Dreaming of the days to come

Of laughing, playing in the sun with you

And I begin to smile...

Chorus:

Tennley, you are a whisper in the silence

The flicker of a candle's flame that warms the cold winter's night

The colors of the rainbow breaking through the summer clouds

And I can't wait to see you now

You're the piece of heaven to me

Oh, Tennley

I see the glimmer in your eyes

As you go chasing butterflies with me

The pitter-patter of your steps

The sweetness of your breath

Upon my cheek

And oh, that charming smile

Chorus 2:

Tennley, you are the song that breaks the silence

The flicker of a candle's flame that warms a cold winter's night

The colors of the rainbow breaking through the summer clouds

And I can't wait to hold you now

You're a little piece of heaven to me

You're a little gift from heaven God has sent down to me

You're a little piece of heaven to me

Oh, Tennley

The lyrics are beautiful, but the song isn't complete without the voice behind it! 
We can't wait for Tennley to hear it...we already know she'll love it.

Thank you Jenn, for honoring our family with this song...for your friendship...your encouragement...and your love for our baby girl.
