Cosmic Conception

The Lord created us sometime somewhere,
but how did He this fabulous gift bestow?
Did God just pull us out of empty air,
or were we lined up in some timeless row?

Made in God's image and His likeness too,
were we a part of Him before our birth?
With His look traced on us from our debut,
how special does that make our docking earth?

What light-speed zipped our arc from heaven to here,
where ranged the path of our trajectory,
what starship bore us to our parents' sphere,
what atoms felt our cosmic destiny?

Did God create me with majestic style,
or did He just conceive me with a smile?
