Creators

God created me, together with the
world, but destitute and lifeless; months of
parasitism, decade of nuture,
infinite dedication, ceaseless care,
unfailing love- set a psyche and soul in
me. I breathed, I existed, now I live.

Love gave me life, help me emerge from the
shell shielding me from peril, enabling
fear to blossom into maturity-
Kinship, friendship, they render love,
sieve off cruel deception and brutal hatred;
God-like, divine, my saviors, creators-
Heart-felt gratitude, inexpressible.
