Miracle of Life

Miracle of Life.

In a moment of passion on a hot summer’s night.

Here starts the wondrous journey of human life.

The passion builds to the point of no return.

A climatic explosion and the release of sperm.

Thousands of them pushing, shoving, swimming frantically.

A couple might make the journey, for the others death is their destiny.

The inevitable elimination of the very weak and young.

Fantastic rewards of white for the fittest and the strong.

They are each in search of an egg with which to mate.

There is only a short period they have to make their journey, so they have no time to waste.

The odds are stacked against every one of the gallant semen.

Even if they win their battle to find the egg, it might well reject them.

Those who are successful and find the egg and hear the words, I've been waiting for you please come on in.

For them instant success and a magnificent feeling.

For nine months the connection they made will grow and expand.

This is where the wondrous journey of life really began.
