God (Inspired by)

I was with you in the womb.

I formed you from nothing
and made you into
reflection of me,
a mirror of love.

Welcome to the world.

Welcome to your life.

You are pregnant
with potential,
conceived with a purpose.

But don’t waste your gifts
by pursuing self-fulfillment
for I have bigger dreams
than you could ever summon.

And remember
I am always here
from the moment of conception
to your final breath.

I was with you in the womb;
I am with you until the tomb.

I was with you in the womb.

 

I formed you from nothing
and made you into
reflection of me,
a mirror of love.

 

Welcome to the world.

 

Welcome to your life.

You are pregnant
with potential,
conceived with a purpose.

 

But don’t waste your gifts
by pursuing self-fulfillment
for I have bigger dreams
that you could ever envision.

 

And remember
I am always here
from the moment of conception
to your final breath.

 

I was with you in the womb;
I am with you until the tomb.
