When you were born
the stars danced in the sky
birds rejoiced; flowers showed their bloom
God’s creation… love, incarnate once again
the world would never be the same
Your presence, a gift to mankind
a reminder of what he can become
if he truly believes, if he dares
to achieve that which eludes him
so frequently… the truth of his heart
And should you ever doubt your
reason for being, pause a moment
look within… all will be revealed
the master key to life lay within
your grasp, if you dare to seek
