Happy Conception Day!

One thought upon the birthday time
that most all celebrate
a happy time to recognize
one's entrance past the gate

With cheerful joy exuberant flow
thus recognize the birthed
and celebrate the peaceful path
with concentrated mirth

The perky trend of jubilance
and lively comprehend
delighted by ecstatic joy
that life be still within

Elated by the prospect of
another year to be
the celebrants direct their love
in blissful harmony

And yet this name and natal day
was not quite yet the start
we must contend that life began
when cells began to part

For if the cells within the womb
were never to divide
the birth of one to celebrate
would never have survived

And thus must be another day
and n'er one not observe
conception day the most import
for those who have the nerve

Gestation's mark is now well known
for weeks and months and days
within the nine of marked time
from birth to backward trace

If birth be March and counting nine
of months reversed to track
perhaps is June or mid July
conception day was mapped

Or counting day two eighty most
from time of menstrual last
conception day if be in May
be February's caste

Oh that one should bring alive
another gleeful play
where merry lively laughing friends
bring jolly cheer and praise

The thrill of great conception day
exultant perky treat
contented and quite overjoyed
and upbeat quite deplete

But joy and gladness disappear
if no conception be
no joyous sound or glad-filled hearts
shall ever share a beat

The pleasant thrill of birthday cake
be just a waste of thought
for if cells have no life within
the birthday none but aught

And pleasant sparkle on cloud nine
shall never see the light
of blessed friend and family ones
the mirthful clan's delight

Nor will the pleased tickle the air
with sounds of birthday song
where blessed pep and chipper lives
quite never do belong

So favored be the captivate
whose great conception prized
who blest the world through sacred soul
exultant triumph high
