On the Wave of Time

We are conceived, When two join together. No matter what is believed, We are set in motion forever. As we step upon the stage, Screaming and cying our way in.

All wet, full of fear and doubt, Of what you might find. The wave splashes over your head, And you are pulled under the tide. You’re not drowned yet, With courage you get back up and ride.
