I am an individual
With my own personality
Created from unique experiences
And the scars on my body
Resulting from painful experiences
Are different than yours.
My wrinkles are lovingly crafted
To complement each gray hair
That houses an agonizing memory
That only I keep.
I swim in the air
And run on the soil
Created by billions of years
Of loving crafting by the Universe
That includes your ancestors
All the way back to the first one
Who breathed the same air
And sat on the same soil
As I do now.
My skin, with its freckles
Is painted by the sunshine,
That warm energy from almost 100 million miles away
Yet warm enough to toast my face;
My skin, my skin,
Is made up of cells,
Made up of water and such,
Water, water molecules,
Made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Made up of energy particles
The same as the sun.
I am the same as the sun!
At the macro level,
My history is unique
Yet shared with all of creation!
At the micro level
I am exactly the same as each particle
That ever existed!
Both at the same time,
Unique and identical.
Only a Creator
With a paintbrush of miracles
Could love me so much.
