It was the first cry

That brought me to my knees;

That brought that wonder

Back into my heart

And longing for a better life

For she that cried for the comfort

That she was used to for nine months.

It was the first nap

That helped me understand true peace;

That helped me see true serenity.

Though she knew not who I was,

She understood why I was here

Before I could give myself any credit

For anything, I did and will forever do.

It was the first smile

That helped me understand true joy;

That brought tears to my eyes

And helped me realize who I am.

For it was that smile she discovered

That held me up and discover

The smile that I thought had gone so long ago.
