Good luck to both.

[Lars]

As spermatozoa we flock to the egg
our journey unknown, unsure what to expect.
We jostle against up to a hundred million alike
but we’re not just dependent on will to survive.
We’ve a belligerent drive for adventure that’s present
instilled in us right from our very conception.
No sense of direction, yet a desire to explore
inherently extant and hard-wired in us all.
As a child, once we’re born, and our muscles develop
we rise up from crawling to look for new ventures.
A wonderful sense of intrigue and fun
is discovered in everything seen and touched.
Our keen indulgence outgrows the pedagogical brain
which feeds compulsively on the knowledge we gain.
There’s a lot to explain and not always the grown up
to offer their take or talk to and show us.
So the more that we notice, the further we probe,
all in the process to learn on our own.
We still search when we’re older - just with different objectives
from our earlier motives, beginning with acceptance.
It’s a principle of friendship we examine through social need
once were given independence to stand on our own two feet.
We challenge our old beliefs and look to find who we are
with the matter of sewing seeds still just a minor regard.
We up and widen our targets, making our own mistakes,
becoming wiser and starting to take control of the reigns.
There’s great emotional changes as adolescence subsides
& we break the hold that constrains us to question what’s right.
Our identity crisis resolved, we no longer seek the approval
respect or advice of the people we used to.
In our teens they were crucial for our self-esteem to have grown
but now we’ve different scruples and ideas of our own.
We’re reaching the moment in life to think of our future
and key to this goal is a similar suitor.
It gives us security when paired in marriage,
possibly producing an heir apparent.
We share and balance the weight of our needs
through careful planning of aspirations and dreams.
We help managing each other’s choices; Agreeing to
establish a medium or point in between the two.
Voicing our fears and views in what course of action to take
to then jointly proceed in doing all that stands in our way.
Talk of families raised, as lovers we’re wed,
and sure our paths are the same - a new map of discovery’s set.
As our young couple commence, with life’s cycle coming full-swing,
one journey comes to an end, as another begins…
