[Verse 1]
She kept the lists, the folded plans, the measured careful line,
Every drawer in order while the deeper rooms declined,
She always knew the seam before the whole thing came apart,
But nothing in the manual prepared her for this part,
The year came in like something sharp and necessary, true,
It didn't break her into pieces — it broke her into new

[PreChorus]
And underneath the fractures, something ancient held its ground,
A knowing that was always hers, too quiet to be found

[Chorus]
Kim, you were built for what you cannot yet explain,
The one who reads the hidden things, who walks toward, not away from pain,
Every door you opened into darkness took you deeper into clear,
Kim, the hardest year was the one that brought you here

[Verse 2]
She gave her loyalty like daylight, steady, sure, and wide,
But kept the weight of her own grieving catalogued inside,
Her feelings ran like rivers through a room no one could see,
She learned to hold the people that she loved so carefully,
Now she sits beside a fading voice with practiced, open hands,
Doing what she's always done — she shows up and she stands

[PreChorus]
The duty that once cost her has become a different thing,
Not obligation anymore, but offering

[Chorus]
Kim, you carry what most people set down at the door,
The kind of love that doesn't flinch, that measures out a little more,
You've been the one who stays when staying hollows out the chest,
Kim, the giving that has cost you most has also made you best

[Verse 3]
Now the full round face of what has always circled overhead
Rises and illuminates the things she left unsaid,
All the cracks she called her failures now revealed as seams of light,
The passage she is walking with her mother through the night
Is not the end of something — it is what she always knew:
That tending to the threshold is the most sacred thing you do

[PreChorus]
She came to this bedside already forged from everything she lost,
Already knowing what devotion costs

[Chorus]
Kim, you are the keeper of the in-between,
The one who learned to read the dark and trust in what it means,
What this year undid in you was only what was never real,
Kim, the fullest version of yourself was always here to reveal

[Bridge]
Let the round bright face that rises read you back your worth,
Every seam and every sorrow, every difficult rebirth,
You were not assigned this vigil by a careless hand or chance,
You were given it because you knew how to remain, how to advance

[Outro]
Kim, the threshold holds you even as you hold the door,
You were never less than everything, and you are even more
