When does life begin? <br />Some say at conception <br />Others say at birth <br />For me, life began <br />The moment I met you <br /> <br />Before we met, I existed <br />Alive but not living <br />Then you changed all that <br />Simply by saying hello <br /> <br />Some animals are born blind <br />As I was to the beauty all around me Then you and your love opened my eyes and made me see <br /> <br />As in any birth, there was some pain <br />We both shared our pains with each other <br />Pains that would soon be replaced <br />By the joy of a new love being born <br />And where there is love, there is life<br /><br />Harry J.
