When does life begin?
Some say at conception
Others say at birth
For me, life began
The moment I met you

Before we met, I existed
Alive but not living
Then you changed all that
Simply by saying hello

Some animals are born blind
As I was to the beauty all around me Then you and your love opened my eyes and made me see

As in any birth, there was some pain
We both shared our pains with each other
Pains that would soon be replaced
By the joy of a new love being born
And where there is love, there is life
