DEARLY BELOVED

Dearly beloved, I've sown on fertile ground
Two hundred million of my seed,

Thank God for delegation -- we participate
In perpetuating life -- a basic need,

There might be a blessing -- we won't know for weeks --
For now it's a beautiful maybe,

With nine months gestation -- a gift of Creation,
We could have an exquisite baby.
