Song of Your Growing

.16 to .20 inches long rump to crown human
limb buds, little fins with nodules at ends
future fingers and toes
arms into hand and shoulder segments

cerebral hemispheres
shadow eyes and nostrils
heart bulges, blood vessels circulate
head bent on chest

face forming, eyes on sides, sealed
discs that they will become
bone cells beginning
outline nervous system complete

pigment in eyes seen under skin
a pancreas and appendix
tail will soon fade
umbilical cord and placenta maturing

growing loved.
