Before.

Before I knew you.

πρότερος I knew you I was lost and I began to find myself,

πρότερος I knew you I didn’t know where to lay my burdens,

πρότεροςI got to see your face I walked in faith,

πρότερος you gave me wonders of seeing the world in its magnificent glory,it was dull and boring,

πρότερος you taught me how to forgive others I didn't know how to forgive myself,

πρότερος you taught me how to walk I crawled and was bent, then I became tall and straight in gentleness and kindness to others,

πρότερος you taught me sharing was caring, I was greedy and selfish,

πρότερος you taught me unconditional love, I was manipulative and controlling,

πρότερος you taught me how to breathe, I gasped,

πρότερος you taught me happiness came from helping others I was always selfish and unhappy

πρότερος you taught me that finding you I would loose myself, I found Humanity.

Beautifully made in the image of thee king Bee.
