THE GIFT OF LIFE


The scene of a joyful activity
Two beings wrestling or something
On the bed of velvet electricity
Moments remembered in dream   
Coming to life in glorious birth
This one is perfection, a miracle
Fearfully and wonderfully made

Earth was, unaware of our presence
Surprised, reminded of our existence
Our earth would find our glory, yes
Found in a simple yet glorious form
We are human, and we are wonder
And our earth is worthy of our being

Earth existed for billions of years
The measure of time a human concept
True, humans had existed upon earth
Our being was seen as being an animal
Until the echo of birth, at last was heard
And humans became ascendant

Our organism, so small, unknown
Seeming to have been unimportant
Had now become the great master
For our planet is but a machine
Designed for an even greater role
Supporting and surrounding life

We live upon the single proven place
In all of the known universe and space
T'was made for creation and giving life
To explore, to find if life is the norm
Existence is a collection of beings

In every possible form, a miracle
