How the other half live
HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVE
Find love
Create life
A gift from above
for husband and wife
Two becomes three
Then three becomes four
Me becomes we
West becomes more
First a lover
Then father and mother
Then girl and boy
watch them grow and enjoy
Soon you reach your golden age
Life's gone full circle to the next stage
Now you are grandad and granny
First grandchild hopefully one of many
