My Little Life is a dot upon the earth
So unknown and unknowing since the moment of its birth
Since the first breath was taken, the opening of its eyes
The things it has seen and done still take me by surprise

My Little Life felt so small that it hurt
It sometimes shied away to live life on the outskirts
Try as it might it could barely learn a thing
And up against the big bad world how could it really win?

It wondered what its point was in this great wide universe
And sometimes felt that things would just get worse and worse
In a land where the give seemed far smaller than the take
It often thought perhaps it was all just a mistake

But my Little Life did not know it would meet you
And it would be bowled over by the things you say and do
That you would make it view the world in a new exciting way
And it made my Little Life see the wonder of each day

You taught it that a Little Life can still do such great things
And it’s all about the happiness to others that you bring
That it’s kindness, caring, laughter, and generosity
Compassion, knowledge, friendship that are things that set you free

So while my Little Life has had its ups and downs
It’s enriched by the love of those that it has found
And now my Little Life is entwined within yours
It seems my Little Life is much bigger than before.
