On The Day You Were Born

[SuddenlyScottish]

So it has come
To your 2nd birthday
It's impossible two years
Have passed since I had you in my womb.
I can still feel your laughter
Ring true and beautiful through me.

Looking back
On your short life
There are things
I must say now
Or they will just get
Forgotten in the end.


I have lived so many lives
But this is the one that I adore.
For you are the air I need.

Who would have thought
Someone so small
Could be the one to save me
From my everlasting fall?

Your grey eyes reflect my own
And everything else
Is a memory of him.

You have shown me, little one
How easy it can be just to love
With no underlying reasons
And no pay off in the end.

Onstage at 9 o'clock
I'm singing my heart out to a crowd
That are filled with so many different
Moments in time.

Their eyes mean nothing
Their love is empty to me
For I have the love of a little angel
The only love I could ever want.

And I know
In some time some day
You will ask of your father
And I shall tell you
Of his death.

I can do nothing more then
To hold you in my arms
And wish that he was still here
To do the same.

But feel no guilt
But feel no hate
For he was a man
Of great beauty
Who just got
A little lost along the way.

You are him
In all the good ways
You are me
In such small ways.

And I'm still trying to understand
How such a small being
Could radiate my world
Beyond my control?

That is very sweet, great work!
