As you lay there beside me I can't help but wonder
About how something like you could come into being
A link in a long chain you remain tethered to our history
We know nothing about
Before which I know I'm thankful
Because within you every particle is perfect
And your beating heart the sum of many working parts
You are a triumph of natural selection
Every mutation leading to your perfection
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try
This is my ode to your ancestors
Appreciate your recipe, their million year masterpiece
So I try
You are a triumph of natural selection
Every mutation leading to your perfection
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to understand
How something like you came into being
How someone like you is here with me
