Divinely Conceived

By
D

Divinely conceived
To fit right there
So small
Yet so large,
So delicate
Yet so strong.

Strong enough
To channel the lifeblood,
To last a lifetime
Of triumph and tragedy.

Large enough
To hold the love
Of beloved family,
cherished friends,
And nameless strangers
Of a perplexing world.

Delicate enough
To cradle the infinite,
The fragile frame
Of the singular soul.

Small enough
To wrap snugly
The boundless expanse
Of a whole universe
Warmly within.

And I am lucky
You share it with me.
