Some May Say

...Some may say my life began when the spark of life was thrust upon me in the womb of conception...
...Some may say my life began when my tiny fragile heart took its first beat...
...Some may say my life began when I inhaled the first breath of air from the window of this world...
...Some may say my life began when I first looked into the eyes of understanding of my mother and father...
...Some may say my life began when I took my first steps onto this journey of years...
...Some may say my life began when I released my love-strong grip from my mother's hand and began my trek of independence...
...Some may say my life began when I first fell in love as a young man...
...Some may say my life began when I first joined my life with another in union...
...Some may say my life began when I took upon labor with my mind and with my hands...
...Some may say my life began when the news was spread of your anticipated arrival into this earth as you waited impatiently within the confines of your mother...
...I say that my life truly began before your first breath was heard by the angels of this world... At that moment I peered into your eyes... your existance swooned my soul and a new light that was hidden from my eyes opened my heart to you...

My life began with you...
