First came the screams, then the ******,
      Out of the warm dark into the cold light,
Engulfed by arms, soft as a dove, yet as strong as any diamond
      Held to a heart beating my rhythm, touched by breath giving me life
A unexpected first when I opened my eyes,
      Beauty beyond anything I would ever see,
A adoring face whose tears washed away my cry,

Sleep comes with unknown truths,
      Except the truth of love and security from my gentle giant
First and always my love.
