You were born from a tragedy
As I was born from many.

As much as you hate,
As much as we hate
The tragedies from which we sprangā€¦

There is no denying that they took place,
We are proof of those happenings.
Although those events were quite lamentable,
Thank god they happened,

Becauseā€¦
You were born
I was born,
And we are together.

Hey there, I liked the poem very much.  Keep up the good work.  I thought that it was well written and your thoughts came together nicely.  Keep up the good work.

Luv always,

This is a very insightful piece.  It is quite amazing how our trageties bless us in ways that we never thought possible.
