The Big Bang flung you out in tiny little pieces
A chaotic flux of matter mixed with energy releases
Hurtling into time and space
On a journey to create your beautiful face
Your quarks were born amidst gamma rays
Hadrons and nuclei were just minutes away
Eons later an atom was formed
You really got going when stars became warm
A carbon atom forged by a star
Continued its course to just where you are
Trillions of atoms converged here on Earth
To gather together on the day of your birth
The odds of this event are beyond comprehension
You here with me in this space-time dimension
Your journey took you to the place that I’d be
All I can say is “Lucky me!”
