The building blocks of life

The puzzle of our being

Fitting together is perfect harmony.

If one goes wrong

The result is complete catastrophe.

Multiplying and dividing at an enormous rate

as the doctors give you your end date.

The power to give, the power to take 

But the greatest power of all,

Is the power to create.
