Birth

You were not born alone 

You may have forgotten, but 

There was someone there 

Right by your side

I'm telling you no lie

You didn’t magically appear 

Your mother was there 

Life Inbetween 

Is what you make of it

It's all but experiences 

When you die 

You won’t feel a thing 

That's enough to know isn’t it!
