Embryo

Before a baby's born Before a fetus forms The egg without a shell Starts off as a single cell Once the seeds are sown And life begins to grow Dividing in an ocean Existence is set in motion Cells split and clump together Holding on with invisible tethers Pulsating begins to start As joining cells create the heart Feeling the first thought Of coziness and warmth The distant sound of singing A lullaby from the living Sprouting little limbs Pink fleshy little things The light inside her womb Prepares to leave its tomb The canal opens wide And everything's pushed outside The gentle creeping wind Crawls beneath the skin The lungs gasp for breath The air so cold and fresh Vocals stir a cry As alien colours amaze the eyes Little person so fresh and new So different from which you grew Evolving from a small dividing device.... Behold the wonders of life!
