HOW DID I GET HERE? by Chris Regier Approx. word count 310
This story is being submitted.
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if your Mom and Dad hadn't met? It's kind of fun to think about.
***
These are the questions deep in my heart.
How did I get HERE? Where did I start?
If the sun had never started to shine where would I be? If the Earth had never started to spin would I have a home? What if the planets hadn’t started their orbits? I could have ended up without a place to start my family tree!
***
My son and I were discussing "Higher Powers" the other day and he explained to me why he feels LIFE itself is his. He talked of all the things that had to go right, all the way back to the beginning of the universe, for him to be here. And how truly amazing that is. This story is my attempt to explain that concept to a very young child.
