Fullfilling Metamorphosis
Amongst the millions
slithering spermatozoa
meets the romantic egg
at the climactic mating
Bonding together
both fertilizing
through love
lit a new life
An infant grows
in the darkest womb
of a mother in waiting
while the father working
In timely birth
bare and innocent
the infant boy crying
confirmation of a wonder
Soon the boy reaches teen
explores an adventurous life
becomes a man of ambitions
success he shares with his wife
At adulthood he is fulfilling
being a husband and father
though not a perfect individual
yet lives an exemplary existence
Old yet a happy man
he sets as an ideal epitome
as good and productive citizen
and in his death many pay respect
