Birth

Life begins so simple
From an egg and sperm, we are transformed
Tiny brains and hearts of infinite wisdom
Human existence, a miracle performed
Little hands early grasping
A small thumb to suck and hold
Sometime angrily kicking and gouging
An unborn's way to reach out and scold
Warm within the mother's womb resting
The umbilical, the lifeline attached
A soul within a soul silently forming
Soon to deliver, to detach
A separate being yet a close copy
Of two entities a special part
Joined by blood and ancestral history
This is how we, as humans start!
