ever wondered?

Ever wondered about the stars?
A thousand billion in the sky,
No collision, each one a special course.

Ever wondered about the earth?
93 million miles from the sun,
Far enough not to burn,
Close enough not to freeze.

Ever wondered about the atmosphere?
Millions of speeding meteors kept out,
A covering shield constantly in place.

Ever wondered about the human heart?
70, even 80 years without fail,
It still gets enough rest between beats.

Ever wondered about the kidney?
Cleaning poison from the blood,
Yet does not mistake one for the other.

Ever wondered about the human tongue?
Flexing to form sounds and words,
Words our thoughts and minds can comprehend.

Ever wondered about the womb?
Taking the love of two,
Splitting a seed until a baby is ready,
Formed and strong enough to sustain life.

Ever wondered?
