Before You

Before,
Silly monkeys went unseen as they swung from every tree.
The great white shark in the bathtub never attacked me.

I didn't know dinosaurs and pirates could be the best of friends,
or a kiss from me would be the thread that helps your owie mend.

I never woke at the crack of dawn, to figure out what was going on,
only to hear your voice ask, "Can I sleep in your bed mom?"

I didn't have to make up answers for such inquisitive questions,
or had to be responsible on the path through life's direction.

You see,
before my world was undiscovered,
and I didn't have a clue.

Unconditional love uncovered.
My life meant nothing,
before there was you!
