How lucky we are indeed
That in this universe of electrons and blind physical forces
In a world of DNA and selfish genes
Through the unknowing process of natural selection
And the uncaring path of evolution
That such twists and turns of incomprehensible magnitude
Have lead to this feeling called love
A love born of genetic selfishness
That’s directed by instinct alone
But a love so strong, so powerful, so wonderful
People will die for their love of others
While some die lacking its nutrias embrace
And all are enslaved to its enticing glow
From the first heart beat in the mothers womb
To the tears shed at an old mans wake
The most precious resource we have
That’s so often misunderstood and abused
Squandered with misconception
A love for the people around us
A love for those we know
A love for ourselves and our achievements
A love for nature and Mother Earth
A love for the precious life we live
Never forget – how lucky we are
To at least have the chance to experience –
Unconditional love
