Drops of ancestral imperatives
swirl gallantly,
seeking fulfillment on journeys
dictated since time immemorial.
Protogenic potential nestles
in a safe harbor buoyed
by natural instinct,
tempered by love’s grace.
Signaling nature’s intricacies,
each propagation follows
a complex dance
of differentiation and dimension.
His nose, my eyes captured
in microscopic precision;
blossoming into the living
manifestation of our abiding love.
The miracle develops;
not that this single infant
is perfection in miniature
but, given its journey, any child is.
