Toss the coin
Spin the wheel
Throw the dice
Cut the deck of cards

A drop of water lands
On the continental divide —
What ocean does it reach?

A finger points,
A hand stretches out —
What does it pick?

A set of genes,
Half Mommy's, half Daddy's —
Whose life begins?

Permission, possibility
Responsibility, reward
Every moment —
We choose and
We are chosen
