Today a baby is born

Today a loved one dies

Today a child says their first words

Today someone says their last

Today a baby takes their first steps

Today someone can't find the strength to take another

Today a baby laughs for the first time

Today someone cries because they just can’t remember their loved one’s laugh

Today a baby comes home from the hospital and sees the world for the first time

Today someone gets their last glimpse at how beautiful the earth looks

Today a baby is born on the third floor

And today someone dies on the fourth floor

The world needs balance

Without the bad there is no good,

And without the good, there is no bad

The world runs on Yin and Yang, and the balance keeps it from getting thrown into chaos

Today someone dies, yes,

but Today someone lives.
