The Probability Of Being Me! Poem by Denis Martindale

Formed by the grace of God above,
Resigned to human care,
Born of the union of their love,
In answer to their prayer...
Transformed from sacred cells so small,
Dividing here and there,
In answer to God's miracle,
My precious life to share...

And after my Mum's sacrifice,
Her portion and her pain,
She stared at me, God's great surprise,
His legacy to gain...
And from then on, once clothed and fed,
I went to School to train,
So information filled my head,
Kept stored within my brain...

Then came the teenage years of change,
Exams I had to take,
Some of the facts so hard, so strange,
They caused my brain to ache...
I persevered through such as these,
With so much yet at stake,
For I had parents I should please,
A future still to make...

And when work came, I did my part,
I laboured like the rest,
Sometimes it even broke my heart,
Though sometimes I impressed...
Then poems came, transformed my mind,
Thus by such thoughts twice blessed
Was motivated and resigned
To share my treasure chest...

The chance that I, of all Mankind,
Should ever be so bold,
Still stirs my heart, yet blows my mind,
As words like scrolls unfold...
Yet English language proves to be
As precious as pure gold,
That's why I tell through poetry
The greatest story ever told!
