When you were born
Tiny and premature
I was smiling from above
Lending you my warmth and light
Waiting patiently
For your little heart to grow.
When you were younger
And almost drowned in the sea
I was blowing out a gentle wind
Washing you to shore
Giving you air
As it filled through your lungs.
When you grew older
And had too much to drink
I was whispering to friends
Who wouldn’t let you choke
Making sure your breath was firm
Your heart remained steady.
And as a young man
When you felt so lost
I was fueling a higher wind
That would spark your soul
Sending signs from above
That everything was going to be alright.
For in your darkest moments
When you feel that
This world is not for you
I’ve brought you light
I’ve found you love
Because I too love you
Though you do not yet know it.
And I do know you
Better than you know yourself.
