Dna
When science was in its foundational stage
It was difficult to establish one’s parentage
If a child was asked to give proof of its parents
It would blink and wonder at the silly question.
It was like questioning why the sky is blue
The sky is blue because the grass is green
It would say, so and so is surely my dad; dear
For it trusts the words of his mother; beloved.
But with science achieving massive strides
Thanks to the great duo; Watson & Crick
Ones’ pedigree can be certainly documented
When, DNA strands mutually match, indeed.
