When Two Became Three
Twenty years ago, a new responsibility
That surreal moment
When everything changed
You opened your eyes
In my arms
•
Future thoughts flashed
Of years yet unwritten
They overwhelm
Unless taken day by day
•
Surrounded by beeps
Please leave us in peace
This moment
Comes once in a lifetime
•
Tiny and vulnerable
Dependent on us
Don’t worry
We’ll be here for you
•
Tomorrow can wait
Let us enjoy now
For the decades will pass
In a blur
