from the moment you opened your eyes
you stared all around
and started to cry.

after time you would smile
perhaps even laugh
as your parents danced around
pretending to be a giraffe.

little did you know
life would get so hard
struggling to live
hanging on by a shard.

suddenly its impossible
to believe you are loved
to smile
and to laugh
and to feel not alone.

but you are loved.
you are strong.
you are not alone
its hard to believe
but you were
all along.
