We love ourselves and others.
There is no sky we'll ever see
Not lit by that first love.
Would drive us mad with pain,
But we are born into a world
That greets our cries with joy.
That told me who I was!
The greatest gift--a love of life--
Lay laughing in your eyes.
The soft grace of your smile,
And every wind of fortune bears
The scent of your caress.
