Before I Was Born

Before I was born,
Indeed, before I was conceived;
When I was but a twinkle in my father's eye
And a sweetness in my mother's smile.
When I was perfect and one with
God and His universe and all,
Before my birth and the proverbial fall.
When I didn't want and didn't need,
Before the egg and the seed.
Bathed in light and warmth and
All that and more.
Perfect love and balance and
Peace and understanding,
Before I was born.
