Eres Todo Menos Azar

You're Everything But Chance

It wasn't easy to digest
that news left me speechless
there's never time to choose
if two bodies seek to become one

Thirty-six long weeks went by
slowly I saw you take shape
those breasts and that belly suspended
defying gravity

And there were nights I couldn't sleep
your arrival felt so wrong
pure fear, I felt fear
for being vulnerable and not wanting to anchor

Finally, in a cold dawn
I saw you emerge from the waters
looking at your face cleared my doubts,
you're everything, but chance

And the house filled up
with new sounds and smells
a miracle of milk and sun
a new planet in my heart
And from your laughter, a brutal tenderness
and from your hands, a genuine freedom
and from your cries, love unpatched
and from your noises, my joy to savor
and from your scent, a magnet that draws kisses
and from your touch, my natural nourishment
