BIRTH

From the foundation of all of God’s boundless creation,
you were a spirit dwelling in ethereal recreation. 

In the power granted to you through freedom of choice,
you alone elected to come forth and exhibit your voice. 

Once you selected your own temporal existence,
it was through four hundred million sperm that you alone persisted. 

In the confinement of a cell in your mother’s womb,
you searched for the nucleus to build your tomb. 

Through infinitesimal darkness you achieved conception,
not realizing this was your funeral and not your reception. 

With only the existence of an unconscious mind,
you now realized what you had left behind. 

You were still in the position where you could abort,
but you chose to endure this newfound port. 

You began to evolve into an earthly formation,
not understanding your newly found habitation. 

As you formed and developed within that watery grave,
you found your first reason for Jesus to save. 

When the fullness of time had reached its duration,
you traveled through a gateway to a new sensation. 

The strength of the vessel that transported you,
endured tremendous pain and pushed you through. 

When you entered this realm you began to cry,
for you now knew that you were predestined to die.
