The Twisted Double Strands of Life:
The Double Helix Deoxyribonucleic Acid;
Protein Strands
DNA, blue prints, this of high complexity.
These are none alike, and none similar.
Sample diversification are dogs, birds, cats.
Yet, the most spectacular creation is we.
Wondrously and fearfully created.
We have the potential to rule over this creation.
A golden pen; stronger than deadly arms.
Inscribed truth that is bonded on black and on white.
God given gifts with profound insight.
Many are called, few are chosen, as once said.
For those who have answered the call.
If we truly ponder inward and upward and forward.
Then look to see, “that most humblest is Greatest.”
I do not know the reason as to why I love you,
Though there are things I know reasons as to why I do.
I know for instance love is unseen and so is the air I breathe.
But with the air I know it’s about oxygen and carbon dioxide.
I also know all living organisms function and develop
Because of the genetic instructions contained
In the deoxyribonucleic acid.
And is based on adenines, cytosines, guanines and thymines.
However, as I research to know the science of this love,
I have come to find out that some things are,
Simple to the heart, complicated to the mind.
And of all the reasons that make me love you,
None is strong enough to explain why I truly love you.
So now I am certain the true reason is I love you.
