Birth

Birth From the moment you were born my life changed forever. Things that once meant everything to me Simply became meaningless. They were replaced by your smile and fingers holding mine. Somehow my life became filled with a sense of pride and completeness I never could have dreamed of. Like the sun shining from behind darkened clouds of gray, my life was given light. Before you were born I couldn’t imagine life with you Now I can’t imagine it without. For the rest of time I’ll know what life is all about And have you to thank for it. So every time we celebrate your birth The candles are not only for you. They remind me of the light You have brought into my life. They stand for new lives Both yours and mine.
