There is no end to my beginning,
No beginning to my end.
I've searched the earth to know th worth
Of being someone's friend.
When I was young, I felt alone;
No one would play with me.
All the kids would put me down.
They'd point - and laugh at me.
I built a wall around myself
To shut out all the world,
And in my shell, I found a star,
And then my mind unfurled.
I taught myself to love them all,
But not to let them know.
I found one friend that I would keep
Forever, as I grow.
The one who gave me life on earth,
My own sweet Mom, my friend;
There is no end to our beginning,
No beginning to our end.
