Life

A new conception

Two mammals form a pair bond
The basis for monogamy

Friction against a membrane
Producing a sensation
Stimulation leading to a release

Contractions propel cells into tubes
Searching for fusion before they die
An ovum is penetrated
And fertilisation begins

Developing over a period of months
A heart begins to beat
Vibrations of sound can be heard
Footprints and fingerprints form
Eyes can open and close

A water breaking
Signals the start of labour
A dilation reveals an opening
The canal of birth
A mother connected to a child by a cord
Pushing to deliver, the miracle of life
