The day I was born, the stars shone brightly;
Found myself in arms, holding me tightly.
Eyes filled with tears of joy,
As I opened my eyes and grabbed the fingers that would hand me toys.
The day I felt happy, the trees swayed and the birds sang;
And in my ears my mother's laughter rang.
My father stood beside me in a protective stance,
As I waded in the warm sea, within the range of his glance.
The day I fell ill, the sun covered the moon in an eclipse;
In silent prayer moved my mother's lips.
Blood shot through my father's eyes,
As my mouth released a pain filled cry.
Our eyes briefly met, their begging me to stay;
As my body convulsed and I gasped, trying to keep the pain at bay.
The day I died, the sky mourned with thunder and rain;
The smile that adorned a face while singing lullabies, was now tear stained.
The man who taught me to stand straight, sat alone now defeated and pained;
Why didn't I try and struggle against death, his numb mind repeated in vain.
