Before the lips can speak,
they need the meaning of words
Before the fingers can touch,
they need the speed of impulse
Before the heart can beat,
It need a body
Before the feet can walk,
they need a path
Before the path,
they need a soulful destination like home
Before the destination,
they need life
Before life, they need the need for life
Before the need, they need the life of life
Just as the faith of love and its power
is needed to live;
Just as a seed needs earth, sun, and water before it becomes a tree
Similarly, before I am,
I need you
It is only from your you that my "I" will be formed
to live in you, to live with you
