“You made me like a handcrafted piece of pottery—and now are you going to smash me to pieces?Don’t you remember how beautifully you worked my clay?Will you reduce me now to a mud pie?Oh, that marvel of conception as you stirred togethersemen and ovum—What a miracle of skin and bone,muscle and brain!You gave me life itself, and incredible love.You watched and guarded every breath I took.
