Tonight I will be thinking of you
When I see the moon fading from view
The curve of the crescent growing tonight
Reflects off the curve of your child bathed in moon light

The life within has come full circle
From slender crescent the full moon rose
Creation's big bang conceived a miracle
When the umbra breaks a celestial diamond explodes
