There in the ultrasound I find
A minute union cell of a Being
Zygote to embryo and now fetus
Scientific mystery stages of procreation
Literary effect of a Romeo and Juliet fight
Biblical consequence of Adam and Eve coy game
Fight and Game unrefereed and unspectatored
Yet so dearly sweet to the paired contestants

There in the ultrasound I find
The union of a formed Jade limping and cooing:
"I'm enroute to you come February, please God
Science may try to explain my advent form
Literature may finely decorate my entrance
Scripture may know the wonders behind and before me
I'm what I'm, a unique species on board with love
Ready to fight, ready to dive... as Mom and Dad do."
