Where do I end and where do you begin?
Where do we emerge into one soul?
And melt and entwine like two old trees,
Standing with our roots sown deep within the
Earth, mingling with promise?

Everything I ever produce, comes from you.
And everything you utter has the echo
Of my deepest inner voice.

In the spring rain, every child I bear
Is born in the light of you,
And each breath you take,
Exudes the morning dew of my
Winding branches.
