Born for a Purpose

A speck of dust dipped in nebulae milk Inked a signature, fingerprinted to perfection; Angels flabbergasted at the creation, Unique, abounding in ethereal graces; Mixed and churned by divinity’s wand, culminating in a grand finale; The little star birthed, splitting darkness In millions of passionate blots, Fulfilling a purpose, You!
