The moment you came into this world,
I was born in yours,
Nurtured by your wisdom,
Held safely in your arms,
I saw those bright, familiar eyes,
And realized,
It's been so long since I saw through them,

With every shallow breath,
You filled my lungs with air,
Every drop of tear,
Bathing my heart anew,
Brought into a home,
Where even angels fall asleep,


On this very day,
My life began.
