Miracle of Life

With a bang that rivals the creation of the universe cells start growing, multiplying forming molding, shaping changing and becoming… a soul a purpose a life an understanding living surviving thriving hearing, heart pumping, feet and hands moving… Two months down and seven to go too late for second guessing

How beautifully you've articulated conception and the formation of a new human life. My college roommate was a nurse later in life...always said, "watching birth is witnessing a miracle' Conception is a miracle; human life is a miracle--a wonder to behold. Beautifully done, Jerry! have a splendid evening, Sara

Dear Jerry, Your poetic depiction of life is awe-inspiring. From the moment of conception, the journey unfolds with a force that rivals the creation of the universe itself. Your words capture the miraculous process of cellular growth and transformation, leading to the emergence of a soul, purpose, and ultimately, a life. I love the imagery of living, surviving, and thriving reminding us of the preciousness and resilience of existence. As time progresses, there is a sense of urgency, a recognition that every moment is precious and irreversible. Your poem beautifully encapsulates the wonder and mystery of life’s journey. Blessings, Daniel

And it truly is a miracle, the creation of a new life made possible by a generous and caring Creator, not the product of blind evolution. Nice poem. We have a song by this title
