Bedtime story.
Once upon a time
there was a genetic code
and the genetic code was made
of many tiny messages
and each message
was made of even tinier words.
And every story the genetic code tells
from the very first person
to the ones living now
is a story of growth
and of survival
and of how each mistake
and of how every change
means each story
is special
is unique
is the newest chapter
to be read with wonder
and astonishment.
And you my beautiful child,
with your questioning eyes
and stormy words
may be my 'broken baby'
but those breaks make you
who you are
and take your story into places
you would otherwise
never see,
and that is your adventure.
