The day you were born, my soul was set free From the chains and pain that held on to me No longer swimming with demons, They all let me be As the love took hold, the angels did sing. The day you were born, my eyes opened wide All my feelings of doubt began to subside As my heart, and yours, would softly collide I held you, I loved you, my soul swelled with pride The day you were born was the best day of my life Forever etched into time by the blade of my knife From a man, to a father, I earned my stripes The day you were born, god showed me the light. D.R.L.
