cradled in life's first room,

I am your protector

Before you awken into this cold world

I will nurture you and keep you warm

within the blankets of my flesh and blood

You are mine.....

You were created in Love

I am your maker

Before life tries to break your innocent spirit

I will be the one to guide you and

set you onthe path of the straight and narrow

You are mine....

But even I cannot contest nature;

when your cradle becomes your tomb and

your life line leads you to your death, As

the umbilical noose wrings the life from your tiny body

You were mine....
