Before You Were Born

Before You Were Born

Before you were born, it’s hard to believe

How your father and I managed to be

Without you beside us with your tender bright eyes

The moment you got here was quite a surprise

Your arrival quite dramatic event of the year

Our hearts full of joy, our soul full of fear

We knew right away we had made the right choice

The minute you screamed with your loud piercing voice

You filled up the room with a love like no other

We’re proud to be called your father and mother

The tears in our eyes could not be contained

You came, changed our lives, our emotion could not be sustained

Before you were born, our lives were black and white

Now that you’re here, everything seems so bright

We will always be here to take care of you

No matter what you say or grow up to do

Remember our love when you feel all alone

We will love you forever there’s no doubt in our bones

Before you were born, we lived to get by

But now, we cherish time don’t want it to fly

Goodnight little one, close your eyes, you are safe

In the loving arms of your parents, trust fate

With Love,

Luz A. Rivera
