I'm safe and warm in my mother's womb;
And my time of arrival is coming soon.

I'm glad she decided to keep me!
What does she look like? I wanna see!

Its' really getting quite crowded in here.
Oh well, I guess "The Time" is getting near.

My mom, she's talking to me and it sounds so good.
I can feel her hand ~
I want to touch it ~ If only I could!

Her voice is wonderful and really great;
I'm anxious to meet her ~ I can hardly wait!

It's getting really tight in here;
I don't think I'll stay much longer.
I'm growing and getting much stronger!

Ouch! I think I fell and bumped my head!
"The baby's coming", Is that what my mom said?
What an ordeal! I think I'm being squeezed too tight!
But wait; there is a tunnel and up ahead a small light!

Mom, this is it, and I'll finally get to meet you!
Go ahead, push, I'll make my way thru!

What is this?? It's cold out here!
Where's my mom? I need her near!

Hey mom! Where did you go? I'm afraid!
They're wrapping me up~Yes! In mom's arms I'm laid.

Mom? You're crying, what is wrong?
Aren't you happy to meet me?
The time's been so very long!

It's nice and cozy and warm in your arms.
And I have a feeling you'll keep me from harm.
I've got so much learning to do.
But it will get done; Just me and you!

After all this I'm really sleepy;
But first I hope you know, I love you deeply!
After all these months and labored hours;
This moment I cherish, for it is just ours!

In mom's arms I feel so secure.
She's got a lot of love; I'll be safe; I am sure!

Now many years have passed since that miracle event.
I wonder just where all those years have went.
Swiftly they have all flown by;
And mom was there when I laughed or cried.

The bond we have is, Oh so deep!
I pray to God more years we'll keep.

Mom, I'm tired now and need to rest;
But remember, Mom;
I always thought you were the best!
