The Day I was Born

The day I was born…………
To parents who shed tears of joy
To a sister who laughed in delight
To a humanity I never knew until the day.

The day I was born…………
I cried, kicked gurgled and smiled
I was entering a new world
Other than my mother’s womb

The day I was born
The day I am doomed to die
In the middle of these two days
I hope I have a life full of
Fun, tears and love
