MY HALF....

I wouldn't ask for half my share,
My right, my inheritance, or the world,
But would ask of you and the human race
For just an "Iota of space"......

An Iota of Space......
In the vast expanse of your scientific mind,
That explores space,tracks planets, and discovers galaxies....
Let me be....
A tiny reminder of my dim existence....
Me, your daughter, a living presence!

An Iota of Space.....
In your brilliant brain that imitates God,
Decoding, modifying and cloning genes....
Let me be.....
A small voice in my mother's womb,
Pleading to live, I am God's child!

An Iota of Space....
In your romantic, generous, heroic heart
That is brave and gallant in any fight....
Let me be.....
a vibrant throb, a beating pulse.....
A speck of life that shouldn't be burnt!

An Iota of Space.....
In your world of Commerce, Cricket and Cars,
White collar jobs, Stocks and Shares,
So that I can be....
A gentle surprise.... that ME...
Though humble and weak, gentle and meek!
Could be clever and capable, competent and cool.....

In a world that could be 'OURS' instead of 'YOURS'
