A Wonderment Indeed

 

Much like you,

without our parents

we would not be here,

you and I.

Biologically, a certain

and select sociology,

it took a unique paring

to bring us into being.

I’m talking specifically

about you and me.

I would not be me

consciously speaking

to the you who

likewise came to be.

Had mom been some

other, or dad the

unmatched guy

next door, no you,

no me throughout

eternity. Pretty

amazing,

wouldn’t you say?

My mom and dad

divorced after

17-years together.

Turned out, they

never were

meant for one another.

Had they never met

or split before I came

to be, these eyes of

mine today might

be seeing life

in an entirely

different way.

Had the same been

true with you,

we would have

never been born

to speak of

this once in a

lifetime thing.

A unique and

one of a kind

wonderment,

who we came

to be,

wouldn’t you say?
