When you get sick
And the world treats you cruel
Your feelings of despair and hurt
Are my feelings too
When you need food
Its my hunger you feel
I share in your happiness
Your sadness my time of tears
Your joy to give birth
Is my happiness to be born
Your willingness to give love
And protect me from a life torn
Your thoughts
My dreams
Your visions
My prayers
The pipe at your lips
The smoke I inhale
To give birth is to choose
Whether to live or to die
When the time finally comes
Will you let me survive,
Will you die for me?
