It is the understatement of all time
That I take for granted the simple fact that i am
That I fill a living shell
That I myself am chemistry, biology, and psychology
Amongst a billion other things that I do not understand

And not only that I can think and move at will
But that I can do
And that I can love

And more;
That from my flesh and the flesh of their father
More came to this world and breathed their first puff of air
And opened innocent eyes which rested on me
And loved me
and I them

One day my flesh will be spent
And I will see what is next
And the thing that supported me from conception
Will become dust

What will my fingerprints leave to bear witness of my existence?

It is the understatement of all time
That I don’t notice how amazing it is that I live

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

Thank you everyone - all you chemical beings

I really appreciate your comments. It is a shake your head kind of thought isn't it?
