Nine Months and Life
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.
