A lone brave fight for that first breath,
Alone pushing my feeble being into the world,
A loud cry escapes the ****** lungs,
Ululations, smiles and laughter render the air,
The birth of a new life,
Alone Alive.

The demise of a loved one,
Screams, tears and sadness weigh heavily,
A weak whimper escapes the Old battered lungs,
Lonely watching the final gasps kick the soul away,
Alone losing struggle for this last breath,
Alive Alone.
