Where You Came From

Where You Came From

“This book was particularly put together for Hannah and Hunter Martin by a renegade stork. Enjoy.”

March 2009 ~ e.m.

Before you were Hannah and Hunter

(Or Hunter and Hannah);

before you had fingers…

or toes...

before you even looked like a person,

you were very small.

You were smaller than a baby,

Or a baby spoon,

Smaller than your mom and dad’s fingers

Or a fingernail.

You were a very, very small particle.

(small particle)

(a particle is a part of something bigger that is sometimes too hard to see.)

“Now, where’s that pebble?”

Before you were twins,

You began like everything else in the world –

You were an atom.

Little atoms have no names, like you and I do.

?

They are just pieces of something yet to be,

Or something that once was.

And you,

like everything else in the whole world,

You Were once this small.

Of course…

…everything grows.

Like building blocks

Or building houses,

Small things become bigger

When more small things

Are stacked together.

(Get it?)

That same little atom,

from which your life began...

Still exists

inside of you

And inside of everything else in the whole world.

the end...?
