Lo!

Just seconds after

I was born,

the doctor,

(who was

lifting me up

to show to

my mother)

suddenly,

stumbled,

and I slipped

out his hands!

***

I began

to fall to

the floor, but

just as

quickly, he

caught me,

and I was

OK.

***

Yet, I still

vividly recall —

my whole life

passed before

my eyes!

***

But, I

remember

thinking,

if I had to do it

all over again,

I wouldn’t

change a thing.
